Where I Come from: Stories from the Deep South
Critic Reviews
Good
Based on 8 reviews on
An ode to the stories and the history of the South, crackling with tenderness, wit, and deep affection, Where I Come From celebrates "a litany of great talkers, blue-green waters, deep casseroles, kitchen-sink permanents, lying fishermen, haunted mansions, and dogs that never die, things that make this place more than a dotted line on a map or a long-ago failed rebellion, even if only in some cold-weather dream." Evoking the beauty and the odd particularity of humble origins, Bragg's searching vision, generous humor, and richly nuanced voice bring a place, a people, and a world vividly to life.

I received “Where I come From stories from the Deep South” by Rick Bragg for Christmas. I do not recommend it. Most of it is good, but then it incorporates the woke mind virus into certain stories which is probably how it got praise from USA Today & Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Chattanooga Public Library's mission is to be the community's catalyst for lifelong learning.

Critics’ reviews
Praise for this book
"Bragg's unfeigned writing, knowing truisms and funny advice holds strong throughout this stress-allaying book. . . . It's a fascinating glimpse into the elaborate, emotional filing system that is a writer's mind." --The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Without even trying, Bragg explains why it is humans came to believe in miracles." --USA Today
"Another heapin' helpin' of feel-good musings." --Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Vintage Bragg: comforting, thought-provoking and as heartfelt as it gets. . . . [His] voice is as rich as ever as he finds fresh ways of telling stories both hilarious and poignant. . . . Where I Come From is a series of vignettes--little jewels on family, faith, food and Fords." --BookPage
