A review by lindsey_bear
Deep South by Paul Theroux

adventurous funny reflective relaxing medium-paced

3.5

I love Theroux’s writing style as always. He is so descriptive in his writing and has a way of connecting with those he encounters on his travels, despite being an outsider. I think he is rather self-aware and vulnerable. I found parts of this book repetitive, so getting through the whole thing was a bit of a drag towards the end. That being said, having the insight into poverty in the deep south was super interesting. I’m left wanting to know more about some of the people he encountered. Overall, a nice travel piece.
