| Description: |
A memoir that shows us what really happened in the 'stew of religion and sex' that was 1960s Tuscaloosa. |
| Synopsis: |
'Swimming and sex seemed a lot alike to me when I was growing up. You took off most of your clothes to do them and you only did them with people who were the same color as you. As your daddy got richer, you got to do them in fancier places'. Starting with her father, who never met a whitetail buck he couldn't shoot, a whiskey bottle he couldn't empty, or a woman he couldn't charm, and her mother, who 'invented road rage before 1960', Melissa Delbridge introduces us to the people in her own family bible. Readers will find elements of Southern Gothic and familiar vernacular characters, but Delbridge endows each with her startling and original interpretation. In this disarmingly unguarded and unapologetic memoir, she shows us what really happened in the 'stew of religion and sex' that was 1960s Tuscaloosa. |
