Midsummer Passion & Other Tales of Maine Cussedness.

Camden, Maine, Yankee Books, (1990). VG PB. Caldwell is usually thought of as a Southern writer but his first published story "Midsummer Passion" is set in Maine, and. he wrote both Tobacco Road and God's Little Acre while living for 12 years in Mt. Vernon, Maine. New England gave Caldwell the distance he needed to write about the South but as this volume of short stories proves, it also provided him with a rich source of material about a central element in all his writing, the element of "human cussedness". These stories about Maine comprise only a small fraction of his work, yet they are as good as anything he wrote. They show a picture of New Englanders that is instantly recognized as true Editors Martin Greenberg and Charles G. Waugh are the most country's most prolific anthologists.
