Breece Pancake and the Problem with Place: A West Virginia State of Mind.
Douglass, Thomas E.
Appalachian Journal, v22 n1 p60-77 Fall 1994
Contemplates the meaning and misunderstanding of the works of West Virginia author, Breece Pancake, who took his own life at age 26. Pancake used a "realistic" representation of a place to create an effect in his fiction, not to develop a regional image. Contains comments from other Appalachian writers concerning Pancake's work.
