Long time leaving dispatches from up South

"Hard-working humorist Roy Blount Jr. lives in the North but he's from the South, a delicious tension that has always informed and shaped his work. In this new collection, he directs his acerbic wit and finely-tuned insight toward the persistent and colorful differences between the two. His essays treat every conceivable topic on which North and South misunderstand each other, from music to sports, eating, education, politics, child-rearing, religion, race, and language ("remember when there was lots of discussion of 'ebonics'?"). In this eminently quotable collection, Blount does justice to the charming, funny, infuriating facets of Southern tradition and their equally odd Northern counterpoints"--Publisher's Web-site.

  • "It's North against South, and Georgia-born humorist and social commentator Roy Blount, Jr., now a resident of the Northeast, is debating exactly which side should win the titles Most Eccentric and Most Misunderstood. Sly, dry, yet brimming with affection, his stories in Long time leaving illuminate all the charming, funny, infuriating, and bewildering facets of Southern tradition--and their equally strange Northern counterpoints. It's the sort of work you'll find yourself listening to again and again and quoting from often."@en
