Why read it?
1 author picked The Whole Town's Talking as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Many would point to Flagg’s Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café as her opus to rural America, but the broader scope of The Whole Town’s Talking pulled me in instantly.
She draws out a full history of a small town, its good and bad and the people that made their mark there, some from birth to death. Even after death, their voices remain an active part of her tale, remaining as unbashful observers from the cemetery on the hill.
So much of rural America has fallen into disrepair, as does Flagg’s fictional Elmwood Springs, but I hold out…
From Jeff's list on an honest look at rural America.
