Hey,
Funny you should mention South of Broad. I had gone to the Fogler Library to return a book, and happened to pick that up. Forgot that I had done that until just now…I’ll let you know what I think
I think you’ll really like it. And if you haven’t read the Prince of Tides, pick that one up too. His prose is just beautiful.
Yup, have read Prince of Tides, and yup, his prose is elegant. When I remember, I try to “read” with a Southern accent, as it makes the language all that much sweeter and richer. That was the only thing that was better about watching the movie “Prince…” than reading, was to hear that accent.
I’m laughing as I read “South ….” remembering that “Oh, yes, the irreverent Catholic references” are always good for amusement as well. No wonder we enjoy him.
