Wayne Greenhaw, Writer

"Wayne Greenhaw's FIGHTING THE DEVIL IN DIXIE does more than take you behind the picket lines, along the dark country roads and under the white hoods of the civil rights struggle. It takes you inside its very skin, and inside the South's broken heart. Wayne did not just cover this era, he lived it, really lived it, in conscience, in soul as well as mind. I'm glad this book got made, and glad he did it." -- Rick Bragg, Pulitzer Prize winner, professor of writing at the University of Alabama, and author of ALL OVER BUT THE SHOUTIN'.

FIGHTING THE DEVIL IN DIXIE will be published early in 2011 by Lawrence Hill Books, an imprint of Chicago Review Press.

“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.
