A Turn in the South is a reflective journey by V. S. Naipaul in the late 1980s through the American South. Naipaul writes of his encounters with politicians, rednecks, farmers, writers and ordinary men and women, both black and white, with the insight and originality we expect from one of our best travel writers. Fascinating and poetic, this is a remarkable book on race, culture and country.

‘Naipaul’s writing is supple and fluid, meticulously crafted, adventurous and quick to surprise. And, as usual, there’s the freshness and originality of his way of looking at things’ Sunday Times

‘Naipaul writes as if a modern oracle has chosen to speak through him. It is a tissue of brilliantly recorded hearsay, of intense listening by a man with a remarkable ear’ New York Times Review of Books

‘This is a journey below the Mason–Dixon line into a society riven by too many defeats; the broken cause of the old Confederacy, and the frustrated anger of Southern blacks whose power is circumscribed . . . It is the best thing outside fiction that I have read on the Old South pregnant with the new since W. J. Cash’s The Mind of the South published over fifty years ago’ Sunday Telegraph

A very timely and perceptive look at the South in America

I have read most of Naipul's other books which had foreign settings. How interesting to learn his views when traveling through Southern America. As usual he is very perceptive and fair in reporting what he sees. Sometimes he compares the class and racial divisions in the South to conditions in his native Trinidad and that was really fascinating. A Turn In the South is as timely as when it was written and helps to explain a way of life that much of the rest of American can't understand.

Well written

Naipaul is a good writer and it shows. This book is an intriguing look at different segments of the South as it was in 1985-86 (keep that in mind). I have to wonder if he traveled today if he would have written the same book. Massive influxes of new immigrants to the South the past 25 years have rendered it unrecognizable compared to some of what Naipaul wrote. Hispanic, African and yes, south Asian communities have massively grown in urban AND rural parts of the old Confederacy. If writing today, Naipaul would have had to visit Hispanics, Indians and Ghanaians, among others, to make his look at the South complete.

Interesting discussion of race relations in the south in late 1900's. The author gets to the heart of the matter rather quickly, very informative from a sociological point-of-view.

Very worthwhile!

Even though this was written about thirty years ago, I felt that it is still apropos to the land of Dixie. Not much has changed there. I feel I know my friends from the South better having read this book. I do remain enamored of V. S. Naipaul. I've read most of his published work.
