Autorenporträt
Opie Percival Read (1852-1939) was an American journalist, humorist, and author, best-known for his engaging portrayals of life in the Southern United States. Born on December 22, 1852, in Nashville, Tennessee, Read developed his literary talent and eye for the Southern milieu that would make his works both popular and insightful. In 1898, he published 'An Arkansas Planter', a novel that offers an authentic glimpse into the customs and social landscape of postbellum Arkansas. Through humor and pathos, Read weaves a narrative that reflects the complexities of race relations and the transformation of Southern society following the Civil War. His writing style, characterized by a blend of satirical wit and sympathetic storytelling, endeared him to a wide readership. Read's contributions to American literature include not only novels but also short stories and journalistic pieces. His works capture the deliberate rhythms of the Deep South and have been hailed for their preservation of the colloquial charms as well as their candid social insights. 'An Arkansas Planter' remains a significant work for those studying the Southern literary canon and Reconstruction-era America. Throughout his prodigious career, Opie Percival Read nurtured an authentic voice that spoke to and for the American South, earning him a place among the pantheon of celebrated chroniclers of American life.
