JOHN SHELTON REED |

Kicking Back“Kicking Butt would hit the mark better. . . . Although many readers will likely chafe at Reed’s constant scratching at modernism and his unabashed conservatism, they will be refreshed by his candor, humor, and integrity.”
(Randall M. Miller, Journal of Southern History) “The funniest commentator on American life in print today. And often the shrewdest. . . . Most writers survey the folly about them and launch into sermons. . . . John Shelton Reed surveys it and laughs.” (Michael Skube, Atlanta Journal-Constitution) “He manages to make even the touchiest subject amusing and even the silliest excursion instructive.” (Virginia Quarterly Review) “A collection of caustic, witty pieces full of unsettling observations about the South.” (Southern Living) |
