For the past four years, Margaret Renkl's columns have
offered readers of The New York Times a weekly dose of
natural beauty, human decency, and persistent hope from her
home in Nashville. Now more than sixty of those pieces have
been brought together in this sparkling new collection.People
have often asked me how it feels to be the 'voice of the South,
' writes Renkl in her introduction. But I'm not the voice of the
South, and no one else is, either. There are many Souths--red
and blue, rural and urban, mountain and coast, Black and
white and brown--and no one writer could possibly represent
all of them. In Graceland, At Last, Renkl writes instead from
her own experience about the complexities of her homeland,
demonstrating along the way how much more there is to this
tangled region than many people understand.In a patchwork
quilt of personal and reported essays, Renkl also highlights
some other voices of the South, people who are fighting for a
better future for the region. A group of teenagers who
organized a youth march for Black Lives Matter. An urban
shepherd whose sheep remove invasive vegetation. Church
parishioners sheltering the homeless. Throughout, readers will
find the generosity of spirit and deep attention to the world,
human and nonhuman, that keep readers returning to her
columns each Monday morning.From a writer who makes one
of all the world's beings (NPR), Graceland, At Last is a book
full of gifts for Southerners and non-Southerners alike.
