Abstract

EDITOR'S NOTE JASON HOWARD hat is buried in the ground isn’t always what you think. WIt’s just the beginning.” With these evocative, mysterious words, Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle begins to draw the reader into the world of Cowney, a nineteen-year-old Cherokee man who serves as the protagonist in her debut novel Even As We Breathe. He wants more than his hometown of Cherokee, North Carolina is able to offer, so at the height of World War II, Cowney moves to Asheville to 6 work at the Grove Park Inn, where he finds himself caught up in a mystery and stigmatized because of his Native American identity. While these words help to open Clapsaddle’s tale of familial and cultural identity, they also serve as a metaphor for her deep, language-driven prose—and for the writing of her fellow featured authors. Alongside Clapsaddle in this special double issue, we are spotlighting Annie Frazier, author of the novel Crazy House, and Wesley Browne, author of Hillbilly Hustle, which will be published in March by West Virginia University Press.
