The Deepest South of All: True Stories from Natchez, Mississippi by Richard Grant

I have just so enjoyed Grant’s writing (this and ‘Dispatches’ thus far). What a great storyteller! He is compassionate about a very challenging (and eccentric) place and clearly genuinely interested in understanding it, not just reporting the ‘juicy bits’ (of which there are plenty).
Learned a lot about my home state and about Natchez (which I think I’ve only ever been to once—my loss!)
I especially loved the structure of this book with the alternating story-/time-lines!
