Jim Grimsley discusses and reads from his novels Dream Boy and Winter Birds. Both works are fictional portraits set in the modern South and explore themes of adolescent love, homosexuality, religion, and personal identity. He addresses his ambivalence toward the South and the import of tackling such serious issues as identity, violence, and abuse in his works. At the time of this interview, Jim Grimsley was playwright in residence at the Seven Stages Theater in Atlanta, Georgia.
