And All Over But The Shoutin is a work of art. While reading this book, I feel in love with Rick Braggs mother, Margaret Bragg, a hundred times. I felt like I was reading one of the prophets in the Old Testament when reading parts of this book. I thought of Melville, I thought of Faulkner. Because I love the English language , I knew I was reading one of the best books Ive ever read. By explaining his life to the world, Rick Bragg explained part of my life to me. You feel things in every line this man writes. His sentences bleed on you. I wept when the book ended. I never met Rick Bragg in my life, but I called him up and told him hed written a masterpiece, and I sent flowers to his mother."--Pat ConroyA haunting memoir about growing up dirt-poor in the Alabama hills--and about moving on but never really being able to leave.The extraordinary gifts for evocation and insight and the stunning talent for story- telling that earned Rick Bragg a Pulitzer Prize for feature writing in 1996 are here brought to bear on the wrenching story of his own familys life. It is the story of a war-haunted, hard-drinking father and a strong-willed, loving mother who struggled to protect her sons from the effects of poverty and ignorance that had constricted her own life. It is the story of the life Bragg was able to carve out for himself on the strength of his mothers encouragement and belief. And it is the story of his attempts to both atone for and avenge the mistakes and cruelties of his past.All Over but the Shoutin is a gripping account of people struggling to make sense and solidity of lifes capricious promises. A classic piece of Americana, it is made vividly, movingly particular by Rick Braggs searching vision, generous humor, and richly nuanced voice..
