Page xi Acknowledgments When Bob Brinkmeyer asked me, in 1989, to consider writing about Barry Hannah's fiction, I was not sure that I could. I had then read very little of Hannah; but my department chair, Bill Epperson, who has always read everything, quickly lent me his copies of Hannah's books. I thank them both. I am grateful for the support of the administration of Oral Roberts University and for the cheerful assistance of Carolyn Baker, Thelma Burden, and the ORU interlibrary loan staff; and for my English department "family," including secretary Wanda Fisher. I am indebted to Robert Bly for a book that was to be one of my first keys to understanding Hannah's fiction, and to poet Ken McCullough, who, at a writer's workshop in Tulsa in 1990, told me that Iron John was to come out soon. I also thank Marcia Jacobson for her Being a Boy Again: Autobiography and the American Boy Book, another significant source that was published just when I needed it. Similarly, for keys to Hannah, to the short story, and to literature in general and the teaching of it, I am continually thankful for Mary Rohrberger, not only for her own scholarship but also for that of the scholars she has always gathered around her, whether at the South Central Modern Language Association, when her academic home was Oklahoma State University; or in the pages of
