Sinopsis

In that always compelling yet simple style that has made Roy Reed one of the country's foremost journalists, he shows us-as we share with him delightful moments and rich insights on the way to Hogeye-Southerners still different for being Southerners, and country Southerners who are even more so, pained by bruises and comforted by salves that are peculiarly their own.

"I hope that my city friends will not be upset to learn that this book is a little more sympathetic to the Arkansas hill people than it is to New Yorkers," he says. "I have grown attached to cities over the years, but I am still, somewhere near my heart, a hillbilly. I have gone to a lot of trouble to remember that."

This book is a special admission into those hills, to Vacation Bible School, tent meetings, sale barns, back roads and pool halls, to dog days in Hogeye.

To read Looking for Hogeye is to sit with Roy Reed on his wide front porch as he tells by the life he lives why, after Washington, London, and New York, he made his home in the north Arkansas hills, where he felt-as he puts it-"like Brer Rabbit reentering the briar patch."

It is a visit not to be missed, and not to be forgotten.
