In Tuscaloosa, map-gazing, Paul Theroux meets Lucille, dressed in black silk and a white hat - 'You lost, baby?'.

Paul Theroux's account of his car journeys through America's southern states
is timely, and abridged for radio by Katrin Williams:

1. He's in Tusacaloona, in a car park, thinking about going to church. In a vehicle beside
him sits Lucille, all black silk and lacey sleeves - "You lost, baby?" Her welcoming words
are typical of the South..
