Yes, and like the original author that he is, he says
surprising things even while discussing very ordinary topics.
I find his writing intrinsically interesting no matter what
he is writing about: cockfighting, the troubles of poor Hoke
Mosely, hemorrhoids or a pet turtle he had as a kid. His tone
is simultaneously literary and conversational, strangely
magnetic.
