520    "From celebrated New York Times bestselling author and 
       winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Rick Bragg, comes a poignant
       and wryly funny collection of essays on life in the South.
       Keenly observed and written with his insightful and 
       deadpan sense of humor, he explores enduring Southern 
       truths about home, place, spirit, table, and the regions' 
       varied geographies, including his native Alabama, Cajun 
       country, and the Gulf Coast. Everything is explored, from 
       regional obsessions from college football and fishing, to 
       mayonnaise and spoonbread, to the simple beauty of a fish 
       on the hook. Collected from over a decade of his writing, 
       with many never-before-published essays written 
       specifically for this edition, My Southern Journey is an 
       entertaining and engaging read, especially for Southerners
       (or feel Southern at heart) and anyone who appreciates 
       great writing."--provided by publisher.
