Novelist Reynolds Price Writes his Memoirs.
Writer Reynolds Price. Though Price has written books of poetry, essays and translation, he has earned his widest recognition for his novels, which work in a southern tradition depicting small towns in the 40s and 50s. His Southern Gothic tales deal with families coming together then scattering after suicides, soured romances. His 1986 novel, Kate Vaiden, won the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction, and, like Price's best fiction (A Long and Happy Life, Good Hearts), is told primarily from the point of view of a woman. His latest work, Clear Pictures, is a collection of memoirs, some of which were triggered by his hypnotic therapy to relieve the pain of spinal cancer. (Rebroadcast. Originally aired June 23, 1989).
