Review

"Roy Blount, Jr., establishes himself as a major humorist."--William F. Buckley Jr.
"The funniest book I've read in a decade."--Harry Crews
"The best of Blount--and Blount at his best."--Tom Wolfe
"This book contains pop zest and folk wisdom . . . deep-dish country humor and acute sensibility. . . . Like Mark Twain, [Blount] pits the sagacity and saltiness of the cracker barrel against the smooth, evasive rhetoric of the soapbox."--"The New Republic"
