displaced southerners
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
A fresh new style for southern writing... finally! A hilarious look at what it means to be from New Orleans -- the characters suffer from breakdowns and obsessions while vacationing in Long Island. Readers of Lives of the Saint will appreciate the continuation of the Collier family saga.
Sweetness and grace

I loved this book. Storey's story is whimsical, sweet, and (her favorite word) poignant, an endearing picture of family love and romantic yearning among a group of oddball transplanted Southerners, all of whom are connected by either kinship or longtime friendship.
Southern comfort
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Sportsman's Paradise is hilarious,and yes, poignant. The unforgettable characters are lovable and vividly drawn; the dialogue has great pacing and wit. The author examines the South's particular glamour and dignity with the perception of Walker Percy and the humor of James Wilcox. I enjoyed it so much I have read it a few times.
