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

3.0

Interesting, an eye-opener if you are not from the south or spent time there. On the other hand, if you look for what your notions are of a place, you will find them. The hidden and not hidden discrimination are shown.

Paul talks about how it’s great to be not recognized, but laments being shut out for “being an old white man, a cracker” or such words. His own perceptions, true or not.

The book is well worth a read. There is some repetition in it, but that’s perhaps due to pieces being published as articles in publications?
