I teach southern studies at the University of Alabama. Happiest when walking around looking at shapes and colors. Writing JIM CROW U (JHU Press).
Missed this when it came out, but so glad to have come across it in my local bookstore. Perfect read while thinking over a spring seminar on southern memoir.

Discussed this book with my Landscapes of the South class yesterday. An astonishingly beautiful book in so many ways. And one of the most interesting discussions I've ever had with students.

Teaching Robert Penn Warren this week in my southern studies survey. The words here go so far beyond place and era.
