Memphis is more than just a southern town with, some say, a reputation. And Suzanne Hudson"s All the Way to Memphis is more than a collection of short stories; it is a trip in every way possible. Literally, the title story finds Clista, the main character, taking the journey of her life to the geographical city, complete with its confluence of borders, blues, rivers, and legend. Of course Memphis, as we all know, is as real and complicated as the south itself.
