All over but the Sh outin

"A grand memoir.... Bragg tells about the South with such power and bone-naked love...he will make you cry." —Atlanta Journal-Constitution"Part memoir, part confession, [this book] has everything to do with the South and nothing at all.... Like all good writing, it transcends the particulars of time and place." —Raleigh News & Observer"A record of a life that has been harrowing, cruel and yet triumphant, written so beautifully he makes the book a marvel." —Los Angeles Times"A deeply affecting book.... Bragg captures the rhythms of small-town life with grace and pathos." —Chicago Tribune
