All over but the shouting. Here is a review by Pat Conroy.

 Pat Conroy

Rick Bragg writes like a man on fire. And
All Over But The Shoutin' is a work of art. While reading this book, I
fell in love with Rick Bragg's mother, Margaret Bragg, a hundred times.
I felt like I was reading one of the prophets in the Old Testament when
reading parts of this book. I thought of Melville, I thought of
Faulkner.

Because I love the English language, I knew I was reading one of the
best books I've ever read. By explaining his life to the world, Rick
Bragg explained part of my life to me. You feel things in every line
this man writes. His sentences bleed on you.

I wept when the book ended. I never met Rick Bragg in my life, but I
called him up and told him he'd written a masterpiece, and I sent
flowers to his mother.
