{"product_id":"queen-of-the-turtle-derby-julia-reed-9780812973617","title":"Queen of the Turtle Derby and Other Southern Phenomena: Includes New Essays Published for the First Time","description":"In classic Dixie storytelling fashion, with a rare blend of literary elegance and plainspoken humor, the inimitably charming, staunchly Southern Julia Reed wends her way below the Mason-Dixon line and observes many phenomena from politics, religion, and women to weather, guns, and what she calls drinking and other Southern pursuits. To hear Reed tell it, the South is another country. She builds an entertaining and persuasive case, using as examples everything from its unfathomable codes of conduct to its disciplined fashion sense. And then there is Southern food, which is an entire world apart: Gumbo, grits, greens, and, of course, fried chicken make memorable appearances in Reed s essays, which will amuse, delight, and even explain a thing or two to baffled Yankees everywhere.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Reed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812973615\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812973617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2005 pg. 106","brand":"Julia Reed","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044543951103,"sku":"9780812973617","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_50e760b7-6dd9-4ff7-b432-be4670cb8b41.jpg?v=1684973467","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/queen-of-the-turtle-derby-julia-reed-9780812973617","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
