点评:My wife, Libby, and I recently drove from Jackson, Mississippi, to Clarksdale to take a tour with Chilly. Five stars hardly do justice to the depth of his knowledge about the Delta and the richness of his local stories. And what stories they were—colorful, memorable, and told by no one better than Chilly Billy Howell himself. We were fraternity brothers at Ole Miss. I am a few years older, so we weren’t especially close back then. Even so, his larger-than-life personality was well known to everyone. To me, Billy has always seemed like a character straight out of a book, and now he’s gone and written one of his own: Wrestling with Wisdom at the Crossroads, which I already have a copy of and highly recommend. I also strongly encourage scheduling a Delta Bohemian Tour as soon as you can—it’s an unforgettable experience.
翻译:我和妻子莉比最近从密西西比州的杰克逊开车到克拉克斯代尔,参加了奇利的旅行团。五星都难以形容他对三角洲地区的了解之深厚以及他讲述的当地故事之丰富多彩。而这些故事本身也精彩绝伦——生动有趣,令人难忘,而且由奇利·比利·豪厄尔本人讲述,无人能出其右。我们曾是密西西比大学的兄弟会成员。我比他大几岁,所以当时我们并不算特别亲近。即便如此,他那极具魅力的个性也早已闻名遐迩。在我看来,比利一直就像是从书中走出来的人物,而现在他竟然也写了一本属于自己的书:《在十字路口与智慧搏斗》,我已经买了一本,并且强烈推荐。我也强烈建议您尽快安排一次三角洲波西米亚之旅——这绝对是一次难忘的体验。
