About the book

A Turn in the South is a reflective journey by V. S. Naipaul in the late 1980s through the American South.

Naipaul writes of his encounters with politicians, rednecks, farmers, writers and ordinary men and women, both black and white, with the insight and originality we expect from one of our best travel writers. Fascinating and poetic, this is a remarkable book on race, culture and country.
