<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"An earlier version of this book was published in 1988 by Media Shop Books without an ISBN. Unless otherwise noted, all the essays were first published in the Daily Mountain Eagle of Jasper, Alabama. The profiles in "Two Musicians" first appeared in Birmingham Magazine, and "A Thanksgiving Memory" first appeared in the Birmingham News"--Title page verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>After Dale Short moved away (reluctantly) from his hometown of Shanghi [sic] in Walker County, Alabama, he wrote home every week--by means of a newspaper column in <em>The Daily Mountain Eagle</em>, where he held his first writing job in the late 1960s. The columns--a homesick country boy's reflections on the comforts, conflicts, and absurdities of living in the modern world--have become a consistent favorite of Walker County readers, and have been honored multiple times by the Alabama Press Association and Alabama Media Professionals as the outstanding newspaper column in the state. They are collected here in Short's book <em>I Left My Heart in Shanghi, Alabama</em>, along with a new introduction by the author.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Short's 'postage stamp of native soil'--to quote another Southerner who never left home--lives on as a vehicle for sending this love letter to his beloved Shanghi, to his family, and, most importantly, to himself. His easygoing, straightforward style will leave readers longing for a rocking chair, a cold drink, and the smell of something wonderful coming from the kitchen. Come on in and sit a spell. You won't want to leave. -- <b>Bede Barefoot</b>, <em>First Draft</em><br>
