Scott Brunner's \u003cb\u003eDue South\u003c\/b\u003e \"delivers the goods and delivers them Southern fried\"; Rick Bragg said that Brunner \"writes like people down here talk, with beauty.\" \u003cb\u003eCarryin' On\u003c\/b\u003e more than delivers on the promise of its predecessor, with more of the disarming and hilarious insights that made \u003cb\u003eDue South\u003c\/b\u003e an instant classic. Here are the essays like \"Common Is as Common Does\" (what kind of behavior is just plain tacky, and what isn't), \"Tastes Like Summer\" (a beautiful meditation on bean poles), \"Real Southern Places\" (a wry look at Steve Wynn's attempt to create a southern resort), \"Paschal's\" (a paean to a haven of classic southern culinary comfort -- in the middle of the Atlanta airport), and \"The Last Time I Saw Parrish (a fond ode to his grandparent's Alabama hometown). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarryin' On\u003c\/b\u003e celebrates culture, the food, the eccentricities, the habits, the language, the spirit, the talk -- the overall carryin' on that makes the American South a magical place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e R.
