Noodling for Flatheads: Moonshine, Monster Catfish and Other Southern Comforts
Burkhard Bilger likes the people he writes about and it shows. From cockfighters in the Louisiana bayou to Rolley Holers on the Tennessee-Kentucky border to moonshiners and the task force determined to shut them down, Bilger is one part anthropologist, one part folklorist and all parts masterful storyteller. The Southerner in me was prepared to bristle at some Yankee coming down to tell tall tales of quaint Southern past times, but rather than looking down or casting judgment, he embraced and empathized and rolled up his sleeves to catch catfish with nothing but his arm, before dining on squirrel brains, frog legs and soul food then washing it down with some clear, unlabeled eyelash curling liquid. Southern comforts and a fun read, indeed. My only wish is that someday there's a sequel that includes my own great Southern state.
