Deze auteur staat bekend om het populariseren van het plantagetraditiegenre van de Zuidelijke literatuur, dat een geïdealiseerde visie op het leven vóór de Burgeroorlog weergeeft. Zijn werken beelden vaak idyllische scènes uit met ogenschijnlijk tevreden tot slaaf gemaakte mensen die voor geliefde meesters en hun families werkten. Door zijn verzamelingen korte verhalen vangt hij meesterlijk de sfeer en stijl van die tijd, waarbij hij zich richt op nostalgische herinneringen en geïdealiseerde beelden van het verleden. Zijn schrijven biedt zo een unieke inkijk in een specifieke literaire traditie die trachtte de herinnering aan het Zuiden van vóór de oorlog te bewaren.
