Reviews
"Rick Bragg's newspaper work is quite simply magic. He's one of the vital voices in contemporary American writing. Although the pieces in this splendid anthology are rooted in journalism, their rueful and profoundly felt insights elevate them to literature. His prose is clean, flexible, incisive, and his words and hard-earned reportage lead the reader time and again to elemental truths. These pieces, along with his classic memoir, All Over but the Shoutin', help tell us who we are as Southerners and Americans." --Willie Morris

Synopsis
The Pulitzer prize-winning journalist and author of All Over but the Shoutin' now takes a look beyond the headlines for extraordinary tales of ordinary people and their life struggles., One of the South's most loved authors Over the past twenty years, writer Rick Bragg has earned legions of fans with his award-winning newspaper stories and with his critically aclaimed memoir All Over but the Shoutin' . His unique storytelling talent and his sympathy for the day-to-day struggles of everyday people set him apart from journalists who focus on political intrigue and the foibles of the rich and famous. This collection showcases Bragg's talent for turning seemingly ordinary situations into extraordinary stories by bringing together more than sixty of his most recent feature articles, most of them written for the New York Times. Bragg explores such questions as: What happens to someone released from prison for a crime he didn't commit? Who takes care of the graves of poor people? What keeps an elderly woman from selling her land for a tidy profit? Bragg's curiosity often leads him to society's margins, where he wins the confidence of those who have good reason to mistrust others. Bragg has reported on some of the most newsworthy tragedies in the nation, and his unfolding coverage of events such as the Oklahoma City bombing and the Susan Smith child murders is included here. Once again, though, his special ability to connect with people allows him accesss and perspectives that many other reporters do not achieve. Whether he's profiling the sheriff who broke the Smith case or relating the efforts of Alabama churchgoers to understand a Sunday morning tornado strike, Bragg writes with genuine compassion and sentiment but without being sensationalist. He looks where others don't and gets behind the headlines to the people standing there stunned and often, until he finds them, voiceless. When asked how he came up with his remarkable stories, Bragg has his answer down pat: "Somebody told me."
