Publisher's Summary
Roy Blount, Jr., one of America's canniest writers, goes beyond the haunted contradictions of Lee's character and legendary strategic prowess to explore Lee's quirky sense of humor, his illustrious but scandal-clouded ancestry, and his paradoxical humility. Every reader curious about the makeup of a man born to be a myth will love this audiobook.
What the critics say
"One of America's wittiest writers." (The New York Times Book Review)
"An excellent and well-researched introduction of this hesitant leader." (Booklist)
"The author is neither a political writer nor a historical biographer, and that is what makes his unexpected meeting with Lee such a good one....He offers a gripping tale of a man who had to deal with the reality of being the Southerner he was and who met what came his way....Thoroughly enjoyable and engaging." (School Library Journal)
