Ice Tea And Elvis

God and guns, heat and history have long characterized the American South. As, of course, has Elvis Presley. Nick Middleton (The Last Disco in Outer Mongolia) traveled there with the ostensible aim of discovering the wilder side of human nature. What he found surprised even him. From Graceland to Miami Beach, Dolly Parton to Martin Luther King, the Smoky Mountains to the Mississippi River, Middleton discovered that the American South is, more than anything, a state of mind. A savvy, deliciously irreverent travelogue. In praise of Nick Middleton?s Travels as a Brussels Scout, Publishers Weekly wrote: ?His wisecracking journey is a lark, filled with witty, shrewd observations...despite his lighthearted tone, his serendipitous journal speaks volumes.?
