New York, NY: Grove Atlantic (1994)

New in paperback.

Now considered a contemporary classic, Airships was honored by Esquire magazine with the Arnold Gingrich Short Fiction Award.

The twenty stories in this collection are a fresh, exuberant celebration of the new American South—a land of high school band contests, where good old boys from Vicksurg are reunited in Vietnam and petty nostalgia and the constant pain of disappointed love prevail. Airships is a striking demonstration of Barry Hannah's mature and original talent.
