Renowned folklorist William R. Ferris has captured the voices of southern musicians, artists, writers, and thinkers for forty years-and we have been proud to publish his work in Southern Cultures for nearly half of that time. To celebrate Southern Cultures' 20th anniversary, we present our inaugural special omnibus eBook, The William R. Ferris Reader. Collected here for the first time are all 20 of Bill Ferris's essays and interviews as they have appeared in our pages between 1995 and 2013, as well as an introduction to the collection by Ferris. From folk humor to moon pies to Faulkner, Welty, Walker, and so much more, we are delighted to share this special collection of a favored friend, mentor, and colleague
