Ava's Man
Ava's Man
Author: Rick Bragg
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs
Book Type: Hardcover
reviewed One of the 10 books I will always have on my bookshelf. on + 13 more book reviews


A great lyrical writer, Bragg is at his best telling the stories of his family.
These are people we come to know and care about. Bragg says in interviews that to this day readers will ask how his Mama is doing.
I finished the last sentence of the last page of this book and started the first page all over again.
Bragg is one of 2 authors I read twice: once for the story, once for the prose.
( The other is Tom Franklin )

All Over But the Shouting is a must read also.
