Seller Description
Praise for Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil "Forceful, cleat, gripping, Midniga m the Garden of Good and Evl Is the best nonfiction novel since In Cold Blood and a lot more entertaining, since Berendt's book has everything going for it-snobbism, ruthless power, voodoo, local color, and a totally evil estheticism. I read it till dawn." -EDMUND WHITE "John Berendt has written a gorgeous and haunting blend of travel book and murder mystery. It is enchanting and disturbing and deeply atmospheric." -MICHAEL HERR "John Berendt has the ability to make the truth read like an exciting novel. This book is original, funny, and bleak-and it beckons quite alluringly to armchair adventurers who are as curious about human nature as about the nature of certain places. I finished reading it convinced that Savannah, itself, may be the greatest performance artist of our day." -ANN BEATTIE "All the old passions are on parade through New South Savannah in John Berendt's wickedly funny new book." -RICHARD RUSSO
