An Apple in My Back is a novel about a surreal Sisyphus of sex and stunted self-discovery. It is a travel epic, a How-To-Get-Laid guide, and a moral fable. Youth-charged adrenaline drives men to karmic repetitions of libido, war, and fear. The archetypal narrator operates in limbo, seeking to break free of loneliness through bodies, minds, cities, and angels. Does love save? Can a lonely wolf dislodge Edens Apple and apocalyptic destiny? Is man doomed infinitely to spinning typewriter ribbons, chasing women and medallions? Are we condemned to the grand masculine narrative historically broken like a heart?

A book that became an instant classic when it first appeared in 1995, Old Southern Apples is an indispensable reference for fruit lovers everywhere, especially those who live in the southern United States. Out of print for several years, this newly revised and expanded edition now features descriptions of some 1,800 apple varieties that either originated in the South or were widely grown there before 1928. Author Lee Calhoun was one of the foremost figures in apple conservation in America. This masterwork reflects his knowledge and personal experience over more than thirty years, as he sought out and grew hundreds of classic apples, including both legendary varieties (like Nickajack and Magnum Bonum) and little-known ones (like Buff and Cullasaga). Representing our common orchard heritage, many of these apples are today at risk of disappearing from our national table. Illustrated with more than 120 color images of classic apples from the National Agricultural Library’s collection of watercolor paintings, Old Southern Apples is a fascinating and beautiful reference and gift book. In addition to A-to-Z descriptions of apple varieties, both extant and extinct, Calhoun provides a brief history of apple culture in the South, and includes practical information on growing apples and on their traditional uses.
