Sommario/riassunto |
|
Alabama Afternoons is a collection of portraits of many remarkable Alabamians, famous and obscure, profiled by award-winning journalist and novelist Roy Hoffman. Written as Sunday feature stories for the Mobile Press-Register with additional pieces from the New York Times, Preservation, and Garden & Gun, these profiles preserve the individual stories-and the individual voices within the stories-that help to define one of the most distinctive states in the union. Hoffman recounts his personal visits with writer Mary Ward Brown |
