Friends, I've found that I'll have to set my beloved Dostoevsky's "Brothers Karamazov" aside in favor of more classic, American literature. I'm going to be tackling "The Sound and the Fury" by Faulkner. And, if I live through that, "The Most Southern Place on Earth: The Mississippi Delta and the Roots of Regional Identity" by James C. Cobb. This is all for Uncle Russ, a family friend with whom we'll be staying in Memphis, which may prove to be the best part of our tour (if his novel-sized packet of Memphis information is any indicator of things to come). If "y'all" are interested in the South, and I mean deep South, these are two novels that a true Southerner would recommend. Our trip now has some pre-reques.
