Summary: Exhaustive, Invaluable Anthology
Review: Blount, that genius of slippery Southern prose, collects here a truly massive number of classic comedy gems concerning life below the Mason-Dixon line. The pieces range from elegantly witty to down-home scatological. Novelists, monologuists, essayists, journalists, and short-story writers are all represented. This book is especially valuable because of the out-of-print masterpieces that are excerpted, like John Fergus Ryan's twisted epic "The Redneck Bride." Highly recommended.
