Reviews
A New York Times Notable Book "A grand memoir.... Bragg tells about the South with such power and bone-naked love...he will make you cry." --Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Part memoir, part confession, [this book] has everything to do with the South and nothing at all.... Like all good writing, it transcends the particulars of time and place." --Raleigh News & Observer "A record of a life that has been harrowing, cruel and yet triumphant, written so beautifully he makes the book a marvel." --Los Angeles Times "A deeply affecting book.... Bragg captures the rhythms of small-town life with grace and pathos." --Chicago Tribune
