Abstract
Written and directed by Gary Hawkins.
The life and works of Oxford, Mississippi fireman-turned-writer Larry Brown are examined in a unique documentary format that incorporates narrative film adaptations of three of his short stories: “Samaritans,” “Wild Thing,” and “Boy & Dog.”
“A beautifully conceived documentary inquiry into the life and work of Southern writer Larry Brown, “The Rough South of Larry Brown” is chock-full of valuable insight for readers and aspiring writers alike. Through intimate conversations with Brown and his wife, it offers a candid, unrefined portrait of Brown’s decadelong struggle to become a published writer, as well as the intense dedication his writing demands now that he is established.” – Scott Foundas / Variety Magazine
