About A Turn In The South
Product Description In the tradition of political and cultural revelation V.S. Naipaul so brilliantly made his own in Among The Believers, A Turn In The South, his first book about the United States, is a revealing, disturbing, elegiac book about the American South—from Atlanta to Charleston, Tallahassee to Tuskegee, Nashville to Chapel Hill. From Publishers Weekly "Naipaul portrays the American South as a strange mixture of self-reliance and community, desperation and playfulness," wrote PW . coffey/i like your changes/ok i suppose since the quote is ours?/pk "Part travelogue, part oral history, this ruminative ramble permits Naipaul to depict the South as only an 'outsider' could, with wonderment and multiple cross-cultural references." Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc. Review "Naipaul's chapters honor the diversity that marks the South.... Conservatives and liberals, whites and blacks, men and women speak for themselves, and reveal the dark side of the story in their own ways...fascinating and revealing." -- Eugene D. Genovese, New Republic "His writing is clean and beautiful, and he has a great eye for nuance.... No American writer could achieve [his] kind of evenhandedness, and it gives Naipaul's perceptions an almost built-in originality." -- Atlantic Monthly From the Inside Flap In the tradition of political and cultural revelation V.S.
