Shocco Tales: Southern Fried Sagas

Book by Ritchie, Jim

The South has a long tradition of fine storytellers, and now a new one comes along, perhaps better than all the rest. Jim Ritchie isn't bashful; he jumps right in, holding the reader spellbound with his uproarious humor and earthy frankness. A master teller in the oral tradition, the author performs even better on the stage of these pages, making the subjects come to life with his own homespun style. Shocco Tales is at once humorous, yet loving. It's kind of like a raw oyster; rough on the outside, delicious on the inside, yet even better flavored with the South's ubiquitous peppery seasoning. And Jim Ritchie has had plenty of peppery experiences; more than most folks could cram into several lifetimes...
