Soul of a People: The WPA Writers' Project Uncovers Depression America
"Wisely draws on a wide variety of material from the skilled writers ... Taylor's version is important as the place to start learning about that remarkable era." --Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Best Books of 2009"An excellent history" --Washington City Paper"With accessible prose, a wealth of detail and vintage photos, Taylor recounts the project and some of the writers who benefited from it -- and who benefited the nation with what they produced." --Richmond Times-Dispatch"A nice way to take a slice of biography... A good literary biography." --The Book Doctors, KCUR"Taylor's book takes us back to the Depression days of the 1930s and reminds us that the state guides are still in use today." --Lincoln Journal Star
