Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt

dark funny informative mysterious reflective slow-paced

3.0

This book gives life to an eccentric wealth of characters and to the town of Savannah itself. It took me a long time to finish the book, and I found the author’s voice and the pacing of the story grating and unnecessary. Many of the views expressed in this piece have not aged particularly well. However, it remains a brilliant piece of creative nonfiction, and rarely has a piece of writing encapsulated a town and it’s way of life so vividly.
