520    The first collection of the beloved humorist's sly, dry, 
       hilarious essays in more than a decade focuses on a 
       perennially popular topic: the South vs. the North."When 
       {Northerners} ask me to explain grits, I look at them like
       an Irishman who's been asked to explain potatoes.""When I 
       was a boy in Georgia, college sports was Bobby Dodd versus
       Bear Bryant immemorial. Compared to that the Harvard-Yale 
       game is a panel discussion.""Anybody who claims.not to 
       have ̀a racist bone' in his or her body is at best pre-
       racist and has a longer way to go than the rest of 
       us."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 
       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'?"). In this 
       eminently quotable collection, Blount does justice to the 
       charming, funny, infuriating facets of Southern tradition 
       and their equally odd Northern counterpoints."Blount is 
       the best. He can be literate, uncouth and soulful all in 
       one sentence." Garrison Keillor
