Query: My Mother Made Me Read This

When I was young, and still ashamed of being a Southerner, my mother made me read this book. She told me it would enlighten me as to stereotypes believed about Southerners by people from other regions. I thought she was out of her mind, until a woman from Toledo told me, "Oh, your Southern accent is so *cute*, so _Tobacco Road_!" I sat bolt upright and shot back, icily, "No, madam, it is most certainly NOT _Tobacco Road_, and had you read it, you would understand WHY." This was the 1980's, I was eighteen, and had graduated from high school the week before...and it was in that moment that I realized how little others know about Southerners. It's not great literature, and certainly not the best of its genre, but I think all Southerners should read it in order to grasp the way outsiders see us.
