Queen of the Turtle Derby and Other Southern Phenomena collects a bevy of wise, witty, often hilarious essays by Julia Reed. In classic Dixie storytelling fashion, Reed wends her way through the South - from politics, religion, and women to weather, pestilence, guns, and what she calls "drinking and other Southern pursuits" - with a rare blend of literary elegance and plainspoken humor. A collection of essays written in classic Dixie storytelling fashion includes both original pieces as well as several published in prominent magazines and offers a perspective on the unique culture of the American South, from its unspoken codes of conduct and fashions to regional beliefs about religion and politics. 20,000 first printing. Collects essays offering a perspective on the unique culture of the American South, from its unspoken codes of conduct and fashions to regional beliefs about religion and politics.
