I am glad to know the South still exists, at least in some minds. I am a Southerner and North Carolina native, but my sons do not share the identity, having lived all over. And I have to admit that I, having lived outside the South for 33+ years before I returned, do not have the native mentality that my mother had. She wrote an essay about Southern life and literature you might like. jimbuie.substack.com/p/…
