I felt like the author only touched the surface of what being Southern is all about. ( ) A collection of essays in homage to the author's boyhood South, among other topics. They really read more like columns, but never mind. The essays are warm, nostalgic, occasionally profound, occasionally funny. Call it comfort food; I finished the book with a nice fuzzy feeling about folks and the world. It's not particularly memorable or moving, but it's a good book that fills a need in a world that could always be a little nicer. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"In Due South, Brunner offers a collection of observations and reminiscences about life, family, relationships, and Southern culture and language. From the all-purpose Southern disclaimer "Bless your heart!" (as in "Bless her heart, Kathie Lee didn't know those clothes were made by nine-year-old Honduran children") to the particular exoticism of Southern town and county names (like Eastaboga, Nitta Yuma, and Hot Coffee) to the universal fine points of family life ("Why can't diapers come with an indicator telling you what's inside?"; "Why won't my twenty-month-old daughter eat meat?"), Due South finds humor, insight, and inspiration in the details of life as it is lived day in and day out."--BOOK JACKET.
