A review by peaches1951
Deep South: Four Seasons on Back Roads by Paul Theroux

5.0

Paul Theroux could write the phone book into great literature. Here, he stays state-side and takes us into the Deep South during 4 separate trips during one year. Theroux is unsparing in his depiction of the racism and poverty of the South, as well as the resilience of many of the folks he meets. The characters and settings jump off the page. Worth reading just for the fine writing.
