This is the best book on Mississippi I have read on the period when I was born. Many things have changed since then. A modern book of value is Dispatches From Pluto. They examine the complexities of Mississippi totally misunderstood by other sections of the country. We have per capita more elected and appointed African American public officials than any other state. But are constantly accused of white supremacy and suppressing the African Vote.

Harper Lee, Truman Capote, Margaret Mitchell, Kate Stone, Walker Percy,the writer's uncle...if you would know the living South and southerners, forget the Yankee Press and their take on the po' trash living in this wonderland of triumph and, sometimes, tragedy. The good news is that when Yankees describe us, no one wants to crowd in and we rather like that. This is a compelling book about life near the Mississippi River,it's beauty,culture, and fierce rampages. I love this book...it is a slow read allowing time for contemplation. Perfect reading in a chair beside the fireplace, a bed placed near a window, or just recovering from whatever life has thrown at you. Great writing!

While the chapters on race relations made me most uncomfortable I do know that the author was a man of his time. My father came from the same Deep South and I know he treated all men with dignity. Therefore, Although it will be offensive to many , I judge the book has insights worth reading. The beautifully written passages could not help but delight. The turns of phrase, and brilliant descriptions of his inner thoughts and outer landscapes are sheer poetry!Highly recommend

I first heard of the Percy family at a very young age from my grandmother Helen Mariah Finley Holmes who grew up in Greenville. Much later, one Summer at Sewanee, got to know one of the Percy clan, an excellent pianist, on a more personal level. If you're interested in Greenville and the Delta, and you must be because you're reading this, you probably know about Harriet Blanton Theobald, my grandmother's great-grandmother. Our family still had a home and close ties to Greenville when I was growing up. And my grandmother still owned a few parcels of land. William Alexander Percy's account of a changing Mississippi presents a cultured view of a changing way of life, a Mississippi few now know. The Delta has changed. When my mother died, we sold Rialto Plantation just outside of Yazoo City... we needed the money and couldn't afford the equipment costs. We're not so different even now... everything of value changes with time.

There have been several excellent reviews of this book. I agree with most of them. This book is worth reading even if only as an exercise in literary appreciation. There was once a time, Camelot I suppose, when people actually did think and speak with poise, elegance and most impressively, wit. I value the works of D. K. Chesterton for the same reasons. Percy certainly fits that mold.I, like Nolan Bond (see his review), am also descended from those red-neck hill people that Percy puts firmly on the bottom of the social ladder. I am old enough to know that they possessed many of the same values and qualities he did though without the aristocratic poise. My Dad, Grand-father and Great Grand father would have been tolerated by his family but never quite accepted as equals. However, what Percy does is so solidly evoke the admirable qualities of a life which is intent upon transcending the vulgar, that even his elitism is charming. His remembrances of his father are so vivid and so superior to the statement of his own life, that I can admire his dad even where I just chuckle at Percy himself.But you have to let that go. It is the wit that makes the book worth buying. The capacity to use the language as it ought to be used, understated when most deadly, evocative when most descriptive, charming throughout, which makes one yearn to have one more real conversation before death and boredom actually prevail.Percy is without illusion about himself. He is fearless in his appreciation of those qualities transmitted to himself as well as in his own failure to rise to the nobility they require. He never matches his dad, in his own eyes or otherwise. But along the way, he reminds us that poverty is not impediment to quality, and that true freedom begins with an internal conviction. Percy does not hesitate to consider that some men are superior to others - in that he was free of certain bonds which enslave us. He was thereby able to transcend all cultures and be at home, and appreciative, in them all.It is a life worth living, even if it wasn't always comfortable.

Whether or not you agree with all of the sentiments in the book, anyone serious about his or her writing should not miss the opportunity to read an author gifted with outstanding imagery ability. His descriptions of the South in which he grew up put you right there at the scene. Like many southern authors he is a bit flowery, but in general, the pros far outweigh the cons. People who want to bury books like this are the same type who want to ban "Huckleberry Finn" from school libraries. Wishing the past had not existed is a poor substitute for learning from it. I find books like this instructive, in that you get much more of an honest, warts and all portrayal of life as it used to be.
