Here he offers the best of his work as a Pulitzer-Prize   winning journalist writing the remarkable stories of others.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For twenty years, Bragg   has focused his efforts on the common man. So while some of these stories are about   people whose names we know—such as Susan Smith, the South Carolina mother who drowned   her two sons—most are people whose names we've never heard, people who have survived   tornadoes and swamps, racism and bombs. In incisive, unadorned prose that is nonetheless   strikingly beautiful, these pieces rise above journalism to become literature and   show the triumph of the human spirit.\"The stories in \u003ci\u003eSomebody Told Me\u003c\/i\u003e are so unbelievably good, they will burn a hole   in your bookshelf.\" —\u003ci\u003eSt. Petersburg Times\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"[E]loquent... memorable...
