Product Information
Queen of the Turtle Derbyand Other Southern Phenomena collects a bevy of wise, witty, often hilarious essays by the inimitably charming, staunchly Southern 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. To hear Reed tell it, the South is another country. She builds an entertaining and persuasive case, using as examples everything from its unfathomable codes of conduct to its disciplined fashion sense. When a bemused Reed once commented on the cross-dressing get-ups of an upstanding community member, her austere grandfather said, "He's been wearing them lately. Now come on." A friend of her aunt's merely said, "I wonder where he gets his shoes. I can't ever ?nd good-looking shoes in Nashville." Southern food, of course, is an entire world apart: gumbo, grits, greens, okra, chess pie, Lady Baltimore cake, and Frito chili pie make memorable appearances in Reed's stories, which will amuse, delight, and even explain a thing or two to baffed Yankees everywhere.

Reviews
"Julia Reed is right on target about the South-its food, its hair, its guns, its pests, even the tendency of southern women to kill their husbands and get away with it. She's clear-eyed, raucously funny, and a natural story teller, which makes her something of a southern phenomenon herself." -John Berendt, author ofMidnight in the Garden of Good and Evil "Julia Reed's affectionate and hilarious observations of the Deep South and Southerners past and present are a delight to read." Fannie Flagg, author ofStanding in the Rainbow "Julia Reed is a Southern original. Her writing is funny and addictive, blending the street smarts of Greenville, Mississippi, where 'girls are taught to drink Scotch and smoke cigarettes and drive a car by the time they are twelve,' with the sophistication of a globe-trotting journalist. Julia's favorite subjects are Southern--fashion, politics, and above all food, which she describes with irresistable affection, knowledge and delight. If you've ever doubted that Southern food is our greatest gastronomic treasure, be prepared to learn the truth." -Jeffrey Steingarten, author ofIt Must Have Been Something I Ate "Queen of the Turtle Derby and Other Southern Phenomenawill be a delight for all Southern readers (all about our favorite subjectus) and an educational tome for Unfortunate Others. It helps explain that We are, after all, just like Themonly funnier and better-looking." -Jill Conner Browne,The Sweet Potato Queens' Big-Ass Cookbook (and Financial Planner) "I had some crab dip that Julia Reed made once that I would have eaten all of in one sitting, if I had been sitting, and if the other party guests hadn't dragged me off of it. This book is that good." -Roy Blount Jr.,author ofCrackersandIf Only You Knew How Much I Smell You "Not since Eudora Welty has anybody captured in such sophisticated, often mordant prose the brave, gracious, perverse, reckless, God-fearing Southern soul like Julia reed. Whether she's holding forth on fried chicken and catfish, guns, booze, cockfights, pestilence, or Southern womanhood, Reed loads both barrels and never misses the target. As a Carolina Tarheel, I rejoiced, cringed, marveled, and laughed myself sick at Reed's outrageous tales and savvy insights, and I defy anybodySoutherner and Yankee aliketo come up for are after reading the first chapter." -James Villas, author ofBetweenBitesandMy Mother's Southern Kitchen "This is a wise and tender book. Julia Reed is a loving defender of the South. Long may she live and write. She understands the deep seriousness that underlies our Scotch-Irish, English, and African roots." -Ellen Gilchrist, author ofI, Rhoda Manning, Go Hunting With My Daddy: And Other Stories, "Julia Reed is right on target about the South-its food, its hair, its guns, its pests, even the tendency of southern women to kill their husbands and get away with it.
