The Commonwealth of Virginia is an especially fine specimen of a real place that is almost invisible behind its carefully constructed myths. This is the best book on that topic, and a hilarious one. My own Scalawag Scholar's Notes on Virginia follows in its footsteps, and I try to acknowledge the debt I owe. You can't say you understand Virginia if you have not read Cabell's book.
