Exhaustive, Invaluable Anthology January 31, 2001
R. W. Rasband (Heber City, UT)

Blount, that genius of slippery Southern prose, collects here a truly massive number of classic comedy gems concerning life below the Mason-Dixon line. The pieces range from elegantly witty to down-home scatological. Novelists, monologists, essayists, journalists, and short-story writers are all represented. This book is especially valuable because of the out-of-print masterpieces that are excerpted, like John Fergus Ryan's twisted epic Redneck Bride, The. Highly recommended.

There is no better humorist to read or to hear than Roy Blount. Droll, wry, humerous, tells the stories of the south with absolute honesty.
