Deep South: Four Seasons on Back Roads by Paul Theroux
3.0
Paul Theroux believes three things about the South, and he wants you to believe them too:
(1) it's very religious
(2) People are very poor. Aid spent in Africa would be better spent here
(3) the past is still alive (i.e., racism)
He underlines these with anecdotes of conversations that are just a little too short - portraits of many people don't add up to a coherent whole. I enjoyed "Evicted" more, which focused on just 8 poor families struggling with housing.
