Oct 2020 · Penguin Random House Audio · Narrated by Rick Bragg

About this audiobook

From the best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of All Over but the Shoutin' and The Best Cook in the World, a collection of irresistible columns from Southern Living and Garden & Gun

Celebrated author and newspaper columnist Rick Bragg brings us an ode to the stories and history of the Deep South, filled with “eclectic nuggets about places and people he knows well” (USA Today) and written with honesty, wit, and deep affection.
 
A collection of wide-ranging and endearingly personal columns—from Bragg’s love of Tupperware (his mother preferred margarine tubs and thought Tupperware was “just showing off”) to the decline of country music, from the legacy of Harper Lee to the metamorphosis of the pickup truck to the best way to kill fire ants—Where I Come From is a book that will be treasured by fans old and new.

Ratings and reviews

This was my first Rick Bragg book since learning of his works from a book club friend. I LOVED this book and will listen to ALL his books before I leave this earth. Great writer with an amazing ability to capture and share his family's life stories, and in doing so, helps us relive our own southern life stories as well. Absolutely the best!
