Blount is balanced between a natural love of his homeland and a self-conscious shame for the crimes of the South. While he resents the assumptions made by Northerners that all Southerners are ignorant racists, he must acknowledge historical realities. Given the miserable record of the US on race relations, genocide of Native peoples and imperialism, those of us born in the north should join Blount in ambivalence about our heritage.

"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 new 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" -- from publisher's web-site.
