Long time leaving : dispatches from up South
Blount, Roy, Jr.
Long time leaving : dispatches from up South / Roy Blount Jr - Berkeley, CA : Counterpoint , c2009. - xii, 383 p. ; 25 cm.
Originally published: New York : Alfred A. Knopf, 2007.
Hard-working humorist Roy Blount Jr. lives in the North but he's from the South, a delicious tension that has always informed and shaped his work. In this new collection, he directs his acerbic wit and finely-tuned insight toward the persistent and colorful differences between the two. His essays treat every conceivable topic on which North and South misunderstand each other, from music to sports, eating, education, politics, child-rearing, religion, race, and language ("remember when there was lots of discussion of 'ebonics'?").
