Roy Blount Jr.

Thoughts on a slippery principle

Making a fuss about Faulkner and college football

Roy Blount, Jr. on tussling with a nasty vine… and losing

Making tunes and new friends in the sky

Finding answers in a sweet syrup

A stately defense of a much-maligned holiday

Ruminating on the many virtues of black-eyed peas

A few good reasons why cash is still king

The not-so-glamorous life of an author on the road

Seeking solace — and inspiration — behind the house

Roy Blount, Jr. shares a collection of essays, songs, poems, and odes to the food he loves and loathes

On tangling with facial hair

Standing up for Southern food––and rutabagas

It’s official: Pimento has hit it big

Living in a world without smells

Why we need a world full of bees

An appreciation of an under-appreciated fish

In defense of the season’s most loved (and hated) song

The tale of an unwanted dog who found his true calling

A side of the South in NYC?
