Oxford American, Fall 2024

"A Magazine of the South,” Oxford American is a nonprofit quarterly which features the very best of Southern writing and highlights the vibrancy of the American South.

In this issue:

Our Fall 2024 edition celebrates the gritty, absurd, and deeply human experiences that define the South and the stories we tell about it. With a lineup of short fiction, poems, and essays from both new and established writers, the latest entry in our ongoing Southern Lit series seeks to explore and expand the boundaries of narrative-making in our region.

Issue 126 features an intimate account of a fateful meeting with the late fiction writer and poet Ellen Gilchrist by James McWilliams; debut fiction from Kevin Wranovix and Josie Tolin; a conversation about visual storytelling between OA Art Editor Alyssa Ortega Coppelman and Texas painter RF. Alvarez; a ghost story by National Book Award winner Justin Phillip Reed; plus more work that tackles loneliness and legacy, lost innocence and chance encounters.
