Leftovers

A note from the author: These are, quite literally, leftovers-things I couldn't use in previous collections, but hate to throw out. It follows close on the heels of one that was marketed as a collection of "essays, op-eds, speeches, statistical reports, elegies, panegyrics, feuilletons, rants, and more"-pieces so motley, I confessed in the preface, that they had only two things in common: they were all about the South and they were all written by me. This book is like that, except the pieces in it aren't all about the South.
