| Wayne Greenhaw, Writer
“KING OF COUNTRY is a metaphor for America's corrupted innocence, and Wayne Greenhaw is an artist. Vivid characters and relentless narrative took me down through what must be the Seventh Circle, and I was fascinated by the entire journey. Seamless and unputdownable, a most serious work of fiction and an unmitigated pleasure to read -- two attributes hard to find these days.”
-- Harper Lee
“Wayne Greenhaw is the best writer to come out of Alabama since Harper Lee.”
-- Winston Groom
“Wayne Greenhaw is simply one of the best writers in America and truly one of the South’s greatest treasures.”
-- Fannie Flagg WAYNE GREENHAW received the 2006 Harper Lee Award for Alabama’s Distinguished writer, given annually by the Alabama Writers’ Forum and Alabama Southern Community College at Monroeville’s Alabama Writers’ Symposium.
