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.
