Inhaltsangabe

With a healthy but not slavish attention to veracity, a popular southern humorist casts an evil eye on the New Millennium South in this entertaining collection of essays that “acts rurally but swears globally.” Topics range from a visit to Al Green’s church in Memphis, to the fate of the Cypress Garden mermaids, to the inventor of sweat—Richard M. Nixon. Dees takes us through the southern seasons and the majesty of deer at dawn, the true meaning of homegrown tomatoes, how to ruin a perfectly good fishing hole, and the fragile physics of gin and tonic. Essays titled "My Dog Can Mix Drinks," "I Am the Love Child of James Brown," and "Things I Have Smelled While Bicycling," offer a fresh perspective on life in and around Oxford, Mississippi.
