John Shelton Reed of the University of North Carolina picked up on the anticipatory buzz surrounding Naipaul’s book in his 1990 review: "In Dallas for the 1984 Republican national convention, V. S. Naipaul noticed something odd. He knew little about the South, he 'had a sufficiently strong sense there of a region quite distinct from New York and New England' (p. .23) that he determined to return for a closer examination. This book, the result, was published with such fanfare that no doubt most readers have at least hear rumors about what he found."
