A Strange Detached Fragment in Bloomington, MN

The Mississippi Delta is both a real and a mythical place. This story of a boy's childhood is set in that strange and remarkable part of the world that is home to some of the richest farmland and some of the poorest people in America. A disproportionally large share of America's art, literature and music has come from the Mississippi Delta. Those who have never been there cannot imagine the place, and those who have lived there cannot forget it.
