Published when Truman Capote was only twenty-three years old, Other Voices, Other Rooms is a literary touchstone of the mid-twentieth century.

But when Joel arrives at Skully?s Landing, the decaying mansion in rural Alabama, his father is nowhere to be found. ...

If you are going to Savannah....
...then you have to read this book first. The movie is great, but the book is much better. All of the tours mention "The Book," and all of your favorite places are easily found once you travel to Savannah.

Random House, 1998

Great "Comfort Food" cookbook!
I am a big fan of Paula Deen's show and decided to get this book after trying some of her recipes. The recipes in the book are easy to follow, and are full of wonderful flavors and textures. A word of warning, the recipes are not for those who are on any type of strict diet. She even mentions in the forward that these are recipes that are not meant to be made with a bunch of "low cal" or "diet" ...

Berendt has a talent for finding interesting people whearever he goes
I am almost done with this book, and have not been able to put it down. Berendt has a talent for finding interesting, unique people who make up the fabric of a society. This book gives you a real view of what Venice is like behind all the tourist attraction edifices. If you are interested in Venice, this is the book to read if you want the rest of the story that lies beyond all of the ...

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil {Unabridged} {Audio Cd}
John Berendt, 2008

After discovering in the early 1980s that a super-saver fare to Savannah, Ga., cost the same as an entree in a nouvelle Manhattan restaurant, Esquire columnist Berendt spent the next eight years flitting between Savannah and New York City. The result is this collection of smart, sympathetic observations about his colorful Southern neighbors, including a jazz-playing real estate shark; a sexually adventurous art student; the Lady Chablis (' "What ...

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
John Berendt

Recorded Books, 2007

Unbrideged 13 CD set. Voodoo. Decadent socialites packing Lugars. Cotillions. With towns like Savannah, Georgia, who needs Fellini? Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil takes two narrative strands--each worthy of its own book--and weaves them together to make a single fascinating tale. The first is author John Berendt's loving depiction of the characters and rascals that prowled Savannah in the eight years it was his home-away-from-home. ...

Savannah Style: Mystery and Manners

Rizzoli International Publications, 2001

Eccentric and Brooding
I believe that the photographs capture the essence of Savannah. Susan Sully has provided us with a sketchbook of Savannah's mystery and charm. The over the top decorating schemes are perfectly matched to the quirky and brooding characters who inhabit these fabulous southern mansions. Every photograph evoked a glimpse of a place we would all secretly love to share.

gorgeous book
As an owner of one of Rocky Schenck's photographs, I was thrilled when I saw that there is a book published that is dedicated solely to his phtography. And what a book it is! This beautiful book, documenting Rocky's work from the mid ninties through the present, is a work of art in and of itself. Since the price was so reasonable I never expected such high quality production. The paper used is ...

La ciudad de los ángeles caídos (Literatura Mondadori)
John Berendt

Random House Mondadori, 2006

Se cumplen ahora diez años desde que John Berendt publicara su primer libro, Medianoche en el jardín del bien y del mal , título que batió record al permanecer cuatro años en la lista de libros más vendidos del New York Times. La inimitable capacidad de Berendt para recrear lugares, convirtió Savannah, la ciudad retratada, en un lugar exótico que incluso vio cómo el turismo incrementaba en un 46% a raíz de la publicación del libro. Sólo Berendt ...
