Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil: A Savannah Story
Read or Download Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil: A Savannah Story
Amazon.com John Berendt's Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil has been heralded as a 'lyrical work of nonfiction,' and the book's extremely graceful prose depictions of some of Savannah, Georgia's most colorful eccentrics--remarkable characters who could have once prospered in a William Faulkner novel or Eudora Welty short story--were certainly a critical factor in its tremendous success. (One resident into whose orbit Berendt fell, the Lady Chablis, went on to become a minor celebrity in her own right.) But equally important was Berendt's depiction of Savannah socialite Jim Williams as he stands trial for the murder of Danny Hansford, a moody, violence-prone hustler--and sometime companion to Williams--characterized by locals as a 'walking streak of sex.' So feel free to call it a 'true crime classic' without a trace of shame.“Elegant and wicked…. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil might be the first true-crime book that makes the reader want to book a bed and breakfast for an extended weekend at the scene of the crime.' —The New York Times BookRead moreSee all Editorial Reviews
