Reviews
"Grab[s] you from the first sentence....[and] stays with you long after you put it down....It is hard to think of a writer who reminds us more forcefully and wonderfully of what people and families are all about." -The New York Times Book Review "Earthy, mischievous, yet gorgeous. . . . [Bragg's] tales . . . would not be out of place if they were told around a campfire." -San Francisco Chronicle "As toothsome as a catfish supper. [Bragg] is every bit the equal of . . . Harper Lee and Truman Capote." -People "[Bragg has] a true gift for great storytelling (the kind...that makes you think it's just a plain old story, until he gets to the end and you're either weeping or covered with goosebumps)." -New Orleans Times-Picayune

Synopsis
NATIONAL BESTSELLER . With the same emotional generosity and effortlessly compelling storytelling that made All Over But the Shoutin' a beloved bestseller, Rick Bragg continues his personal history of the Deep South. This time he's writing about his grandfather Charlie Bundrum, a man who died before Bragg was born but left an indelible imprint on the people who loved him. Drawing on their memories, Bragg reconstructs the life of an unlettered roofer who kept food on his family's table through the worst of the Great Depression; a moonshiner who drank exactly one pint for every gallon he sold; an unregenerate brawler, who could sit for hours with a baby in the crook of his arm. In telling Charlie's story, Bragg conjures up the backwoods hamlets of Georgia and Alabama in the years when the roads were still dirt and real men never cussed in front of ladies. A masterly family chronicle and a human portrait so vivid you can smell the cornbread and whiskey, Ava's Man is unforgettable., NATIONAL BESTSELLER - With the same emotional generosity and effortlessly compelling storytelling that made All Over But the Shoutin' a beloved bestseller, Rick Bragg continues his personal history of the Deep South.

- h***r (9)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseItem arrived within expected window of delivery. It was packaged in such a way so that item would not damaged during shipping. Item was actually better than described in eBay ad. It had been described as "Very Good," but it actually could be described as "Fine," "NOS," or "Like New," because it looked like a brand new copy! Great value for the price. Very happy with my purchase experience with this seller.
- b***b (169)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseRemember when EBay was fun…a buyer looking for a particular item, finding a seller with the perfect item, honestly described and willing to answer any questions and provide photos? Remember when coming to agreement on a price wasn’t “adversarial”, just buyer and seller discussing what a “fair” price might be for both? Remember how happy you would be as a buyer when what you received was exactly what you expected! Well, this seller is that kind of seller. Terrific, great communicator.
