Review Excerpt:

Ever since Roy Blount, Jr. packed his bags and left the South nearly forty years ago, he has been stuck with the job of explaining himself and his people to Northeastern liberals … patiently explaining that “y’all” is always plural and insisting that, amazingly enough, he does not really care about car racing.
