Paul Theroux has spent fifty years crossing the globe, adventuring in the exotic, seeking the rich history and folklore of the far away. Now, for the first time, in his tenth travel book, Theroux explores a piece of America--the Deep South. He finds there a paradoxical place, full of incomparable music, unparalleled cuisine, and yet also some of the nation's worst schools, housing, and unemployment rates. It's these parts of the South, so often ignored, that have caught Theroux's keen traveler's eye. On road trips spanning four seasons, wending along rural highways, Theroux visits gun shows and small-town churches, laborers in Arkansas, and parts of Mississippi where they still call the farm up the road 'the plantation.' He talks to mayors and social workers, writers and reverends, the working poor and farming families--the unsung heroes of the south, the people who, despite it all, never left, and also those who returned home to rebuild a place they could never live without. From the writer whose 'great mission has always been to transport us beyond that reading chair, to challenge himself--and thus, to challenge us' (Boston Globe), Deep South is an ode to a region, vivid and haunting, full of life and loss alike"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 0 $a Fall : "You gotta be going there to get there" -- Interlude : the taboo word -- Winter : "Ones born today don't know how it was" -- Interlude : the paradoxes of Faulkner -- Spring : redbud in bloom -- Interlude : the fantastications of Southern fiction -- Summer : the odor of sun-heated roads. 600 10 $a Theroux, Paul $x Travel $z Southern States. 651 0 $a Southern States $x Description and travel. 651 0 $a Southern States $x Social life and customs. 651 0 $a Southern States $x Social conditions. 651 0 $a Southern States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Scenic byways $z Southern States. 650 0 $a Seasons $z Southern States. 650 7 $a TRAVEL $z United States $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a TRAVEL $z United States $x South Atlantic (DC, DE, FL, GA, MD, NC, SC, VA, WV) $x South Atlantic (DC, DE, FL, GA, MD, NC, SC, VA, WV) $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a TRAVEL $z United States $x West South Central (AR, LA, OK, TX) $x West South Central (AR, LA, OK, TX) $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Theroux, Paul. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00037397 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Scenic byways. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01106625 650 7 $a Seasons. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01110447 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 650 7 $a Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155558 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 655 7 $a Travel writing $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919983 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Travel writing. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a McCurry, Steve, $e photographer. 941 $a 3 952 $l YFPC572 $d 20221022013426.0 952 $l LHPD057 $d 20220512111744.0 $m 975 THE 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20210323024705.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0BF72A823DAE11EA975B1F3897128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
