Review :
Praise for "The Prince of Frogtown"" " "Bragg crafts flowing sentences that vividly describe the southern Appalachian landscape and ways of life both old and new. . . . His father's story walks the line between humorous and heartbreaking . . . This book, much like his previous two memoirs, is lush with narratives about manhood, fathers and sons, families and the changing face of the rural South." --"Publishers Weekly "(starred review) "Smooth and rich as bourbon." --"Kirkus " "Bragg continues in the vein of his legendary storytelling, breathing life into a father he barely knew while learning to love a son." --"Library Journal " Praise for "Ava's Man" "Rick Bragg has written a powerful and poignant book about his kin, the kind of people we hear about too seldom . . .
