Southern Writers and the Machine Faulkner to Percy traces the artistic treatment of mechanization among two generations of Southern writers. The book studies the artistic and philosophical responses to the increasing mechanization of the South in the work of Faulkner, Tate, O'Connor, Styron, Gaines, and Percy.
