About this title
"With his enduring classics, " The Provincials" and "Judah P. Benjamin," Eli N. Evans has become the most eloquent and knowledgeable voice in our nation of the Jewish South, its deep terrains and emotional cadences. Throughout his brave and varied life he has exemplified the finest in our Southern-American civilization. Now, with "The Lonely Days Were Sundays," a multi-layered book of great warmth and feeling, he reminds us anew of the Jewish southern inheritance, its ancient intensities and rhythms and heartbeats. This is a very southern book, and also an immensely American one."--Willie Morris, author of "New York Days"
"Eli Evans tells a riveting story of his journey across a decade of action and experience that took him from a boyhood in North Carolina into a life of involvement in Jewish causes. Somewhere across the way he is gripped by Israel's ordeals. It is a saga of unusual fidelities, all of them passionately felt. Eli Evans's prose is like himself--stylish, serene, reflective, and relentlessly candid about the issues that moved his generation. The Jews of the South have found their poet laureate." --Abba Eban
"Eli Evans combines knowledge of his region and of his Jewish heritage into a complex and subtle mixture of insights that often intertwines autobiography with observation and informs as it inspires... He brings to his writing the unique perspective of one who has grown up Jewish in the Bible Belt."--Terry Sanford, from the Foreword
