books by Rick Bragg     books:       Wooden Churches: A Celebration2 reviews Algonquin Books, 1999 Nostalgic! Inspirational! I originally bought this book because Rick Bragg wrote the introduction to it. It goes without saying that his intro alone is worth the price of the book. But I was also elated to rediscover avenues of reading to follow. Accompanying the marvelous photos are excerpts from literary icons. Doris Betts, Richard Wright, Ferroll Sams, Flannery O'Connor; they're all there and more! Could their ...             All Over But the Shoutin296 reviews Rick Bragg Random House Value Publishing, 1999 Destined to be a Southern classic ... ! Destined to be a Southern classic, Bragg's "All Over But the Shoutin'" rings true. It is not only a well-written, journalist's memoir, but offers readers who aren't from the South an insightful look at why Southern men often act as they do. On the one hand the book is a rags-to-riches story about a poor white boy from the cotton fields of northeast Alabama who reads, works and writes his way ...             Somebody Told Me: The Newspaper Stories of Rick Bragg17 reviews Rick Bragg Vintage, 2001 Somebody told me by Rick Bragg This book is the newpaper stories by Rick Bragg.If you like his style of writting, this book is one of his best.Moving stories about ordinary individualsat the moments that are most revealing.Rick Bragg makes you feel like you are there with him in each story.             Ava's Man70 reviews Random House Audio, 2001 The American South Told in a Heartwrenching Saga Ava's man was Bragg's maternal grandfather who passed away before Rick was born into poverty. Like William Faulkner, Bragg writes of the poor American South with such vivid descriptions that you feel as though you are walking along a hot, dusty path in a depression era back woods, spiting tobacco and drinking moon shine as your caloused hands and achy back trudge along yet one more soul ...             The Poet of Tolstoy Park25 reviews Sonny Brewer Recorded Books, 2006 The Poet of Tolstay Park The Poet of Tolstay Park Henry Stuart is 67 and suffering from a life-threatening illness. Being a retired professor, a widower, and father of two grown sons, most people in the same circumstances would have hunkered down in the "familiar" to wait for the end. Not Henry Stuart however. He didn't want his sons to go through the heart wrenching experience of seeing their father go from a ...             Redbirds: Memories from the South4 reviews Rick Bragg Harvill Press, 1998 Buyer Beware I give this book a five star rating-the same rating I would give ALL OVER BUT THE SHOUTIN'-because it is exactly the same book. It is printed on cheaper paper and doesn't have the pictures, but the text is the same. If this information is anywhere in the listing for REDBIRDS, I couldn't find it. I give zero stars to the sales tactics.             Hank Williams: Snapshots from the Lost Highway5 reviews Colin Escott, Kira Florita Da Capo Press, 2001 Thorough Portrait Of A Music Great In assembling 1998's 10-CD The Complete Hank Williams, Kira Florita and Colin Escott found far more material than their box set's book could contain. As a result, they put together this book, a behind-the-scenes look to hold his devotees spell-bound. Fans who've read Escott's biography Hank Williams will treasure the new material: an extensive collection of informal photos, long-sealed court ...             Picture Taker: Photographs by Ken Elkins1 review Ken Elkins University Alabama Press, 2005 An exquisite portrait human pride, wit, and stoicism, amid the breathtaking Alabama countryside Picture Taker is a collection of black-and-white photography by award-winning photojournalist Ken Elkins, celebrating the daily lives of small town and rural inhabitants of Alabama. Aside from a foreword by Pulitzer Prize- winning journalist Rick Bragg and an afterword, no text distracts the reader from the poignant images of salt-of-the- earth people. Even the one-sentence captions for the ...             The Prince of Frogtown29 reviews Random House Audio, 2008 Blue collar broken dreams If you have any "blue collar blood" in you, Rick Bragg's writing should appeal to you. In The Prince of Frogtown, he peers into the past of blue collar Americans, specifically mill workers and mountain people of the Appalachians. These are his relatives. Fighting, drinking and cussing are a way of life for them. This is a story of Rick's father, Charles, and the search for the reasons behind ...             Best of the Oxford American: Ten Years from the Southern Magazine of Good Writing4 reviews John Grisham, Rick Bass, ... Hill Street Press, 2002 Truly the best of the best This collection of works--fiction, nonfiction, poetry, reportage--by the biggest names writing in or about the South is a real treasure.

And she IS a soldier. All the reviewers who have chosen this format to start spouting political agendas based on their own theories are in the wrong place. People read reviews to decide if they want to buy a book, if they want to hear a bunch of media spin and MIS-information, then they can watch TV or read the New York Times. ...             Ava's Man Rick Bragg Recorded Books, LLC, 2002 Almost 8 hours of listening on 7 fine cd's in especially clean x/lib clamshell case, possibly uncirculated.
