The Nobel Prize-winning author delivers a revealing and disturbing book about the American South--from Atlanta to Charleston, Tallahassee to Tuskegee, Nashville to Chapel Hill. - "His comprehension is astute and penetrating.... The book he has written brings new understanding of] the subject." --The New York Times Book Review

In the tradition of political and cultural revelation V.S. Naipaul so brilliantly made his own in Among The Believers, A Turn In The South is his first book about the United States.

"Mr. Naipaul travels with the artist's eye and ear and his observations are sharply discerning." --Evelyn Waugh

"A master of English prose." --Nobel Prize Winner J. M. Coetzee, The New York Review of Books

"His writing is clean and beautiful, and he has a great eye for nuance.... No American writer could achieve his] kind of evenhandedness, and it gives Naipaul's perceptions an almost built-in originality." --Atlantic Monthly

Industry Reviews

"Naipaul's chapters honor the diversity that marks the South.... Conservatives and liberals, whites and blacks, men and women speak for themselves, and reveal the dark side of the story in their own ways...fascinating and revealing." -- Eugene D. Genovese, New Republic "His writing is clean and beautiful, and he has a great eye for nuance.... No American writer could achieve [his] kind of evenhandedness, and it gives Naipaul's perceptions an almost built-in originality." -- Atlantic Monthly
