    South to a Very Old Place

    South to a Very Old Place by Albert Murray
    English | September 3, 1991 | ISBN: 0679736956 | EPUB | 240 pages | 2.2 MB

    The highly acclaimed novelist and biographer Albert Murray tells his classic memoir of growing up in Alabama during the 1920s and 1930s in South to a Very Old Place. Intermingling remembrances of youth with engaging conversation, African-American folklore, and astute cultural criticism, it is at once an intimate personal journey and an incisive social history, informed by "the poet's language, the novelist's sensibility, the essayist's clarity, the jazzman's imagination, the gospel singer's depth of feeling" (The New Yorker).

    "His perceptions are firmly based in the blues idiom, and it is black music no less than literary criticism and historical analysis that gives his work its authenticity, its emotional vigor and its tenacious hold on the intellect…[It] destroys some fashionable socio-political interpretations of growing up black."–Toni Morrison, The New York Times Book Review
