Reading the South

Check here for southern novels and nonfiction books about the South -- I plan to begin adding new and noteworthy and quirky little books on these pages. From January 2001 to October 2006, I reviewed southern novels for a column in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and have them listed here (by geographical setting and themes).
