If you ask Chuck Reece what makes for a good story, chances are he will<br />
answer you with a story. Chuck is a collector of stories. He is discovering<br />
new voices and old tales and threading them together into a growing<br />
compendium of culture to create an ever-expanding portrait of the<br />
American South.<br />
The Bitter Southerner, the online magazine Chuck helped found in 2013,<br />
began as a project to promote the idea that stories can create a perception<br />
of a place and they can also challenge and change that perception.<br />
Chuck believes in the power of stories. He spends his time wading through<br />
the tides of our modern culture, pondering answers to the questions: What<br />
is the South now? What does it mean to be Southern today?<br />
