Synopsis

"A first-rate irascible American humorist...This man Grizzard deserves high honors in the field of fun."
ATLANTA JOURNAL & CONSTITUTION
In his twelfth collection of outrageous writings, he's kinder. He's gentler. He's one unusual American with a whole lot to say about the things that vex us all: like Rice Krispies, funeral preaching, news that's unfit to print (or even think about for that matter), uncommon dawg tales, and the unavaoidable light at the end of the tunnel.

About this title

About the Author:

Lewis Grizzard, Jr., was an American writer and humorist known for his commentary on the American South. Although he spent his early career as a newspaper sportswriter and editor, becoming the sports editor of the Atlanta Journal at age 23, he was much better known for his humorous newspaper columns in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He was also a popular stand-up comedian and lecturer.

Review:

"He is to Dixie what Royko is to Chicago, Breslin to New York, Buchwald to Washington. He's among the hottest things down South since corn bread." ―The Washington Post
"He has an enviable grasp on the pith and marrow of life. He writes about the things people talk about." ―Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"It's worth having a collection of Grizzard's books on the shelf for their titles alone. They're better, though, off the shelf, because the inside are funnier than the covers." ―The Daily Oklahoman
"Lewis Grizzard thinks funny. And he writes funny in a very Southern way that appeals greatly to his fellow Southerners and to all of us Yankees with a born-again soft spot in our hearts for the land of grits and honey and Scarlett and Rhett." ―San Diego Union
"Grizzard is a natural-born storyteller with a deft hand for reducing everyday occurrences into uproarious nuggets of praise." ―Orlando Sentinel
