Email: billcl@usca.edu
In addition to continuing to teach the courses he loves: composition, fiction writing, non-Western literature, Southern literature, William Faulkner, and Flannery O¹Connor, Dr. Claxon divides his professional leisure time between writing fiction and studying Southern literature.
His current scholarly project, destined to be a book, is entitled The Marginalized Male in Twentieth-Century Southern Fiction. In September 2003, he presented the paper “Marginalized Males in Contemporary Southern Literature” at the Southern Writers Symposium at Southern Methodist College. In October, he took a few students from his Southern literature class to the Flannery O¹Connor Symposium in Milledgeville, Georgia. He applied for, but did not receive, an NEH Fellowship for 2004-2005. He will be on sabbatical Spring 2005.
