Description
Travelling from Atlanta to Charleston, from Tallahassee to Tuskegee, from Jackson to Nashville and Chapel Hill, Naipaul covers the South of the US and finds a culture which he describes as consisting of order, faith, music and melancholy, both defined and burdened by a desperate past.A thoughtful and beautifully crafted epilogue to the history of slavery A Turn in the South is a reflective journey by V. S. Naipaul in the late 1980s through the American South. Naipaul writes of his encounters with politicians, rednecks, farmers, writers, ordinary men and women, both black and white, with the insight and originality we expect from one of our best travel writers. Fascinating and poetic, this is a remarkable book on race, culture and country
