Take the following as truth: The strength of Horwitz's book lies in his gift for fleshing them out through precisely rendered encounters with Southerners of all walks and all colors, united only by the common Southern compulsion to answer a question with a story.
Then the following statement: "Lots of Southerners want to answer a question with a story about where they were born." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: False
