Paul's Update 4/5









The University of Chicago Press

It sounds like an unlikely movie plot: A British professor of classics sets out on a tour of iconic country music destinations, culminating at the theme park devoted to the life of Dolly Parton. But the classicist in question, Helen Morales, is a true fan of country music and had long wanted to witness “the sheer outrageousness” of Dolly’s theme park. The result is our free e-book for AprilPilgrimage to Dollywood: A Country Music Road Trip through Tennessee. Her ten-day journey takes her from Graceland, to Loretta Lynn’s ranch at Hurricane Mills, to Nashville’s Grand Old Opry and Country Music Hall of Fame, and finally to the great entertainment destinations of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, home of Dollywood and many other diversions.
“Part quirky travelogue, part study of celebrity culture, part autobiography,Pilgrimage to Dollywood is a witty and self-aware account of being transplanted into an alien culture and deciding to revel in its (and one’s own) otherness.”—Times Higher Education
