River of Dreams: 75 Great Literature Books Published by LSU Press

As part of their 75th anniversary celebrations, Louisiana State University Press has put together a series of lists highlighting "75 great LSU Press titles in various subjects." I'm very proud to say that River of Dreams was selected as one of their 75 great literature books.

You can browse the whole list here - and, as you can see, I'm in humblingly good company.

UPDATE: Since LSUP took the page down, I though I'd preserve the list for posterity, below. Needless to say, there's some good reading here!
