DEEP SOUTH - PAUL THEROUX KARTONIERT (TB)

For the past fifty years  Paul Theroux has travelled to the far corners of the earth - to China
India  Africa  the Pacific Islands  South America  Russia  and elsewhere - and brought them to
life in his cool  exacting prose. In Deep South he turns his gaze to a region much closer to
his home.  Travelling through North and South Carolina  Georgia  Tennessee  Mississippi 
Alabama and Arkansas  Paul Theroux writes of the stunning landscapes he discovers - the deserts
the mountains  the Mississippi - and above all  the lives of the people he meets.  The South is
a place of contradictions. There is the warm  open spirit of the soul food cafes  found in
every town  no matter how small. There is the ruined grandeur of numberless ghostly towns  long
abandoned by the industries that built them. There are the state gun shows and the close-knit
subtly forlorn tribe of people who attend and run them. Deep in the heart of his native country
Theroux discovers a land more profoundly foreign than anything he has previously experienced.
