A collection of writings by the humorist author of Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady features excerpts from each of her books; a complete novel, When Sisterhood Was in Flower; noted columns and book reviews; essays on modern life; and a selection from The Barbarian Princess. Reprint.
The Southern Woman: She is required to be frigid, passionate, sweet, bitch and scatterbrained - all at the same time. Her problems spring from the fact that she succeeds. The Bad Good Ole Boy: He makes his grand exit seven seconds after the grand entrance and murmurs: "I sure pleasured you, Velma Lee, dint I?" The Self-Rejuvenating Virgin: She claims it never really happened because: a) she was drunk and b) "We didn't do it in a bed." The Good Good Ole Boy: He holds out a dozen pink carnations and says: "I'm mighty sorry 'bout last night, I wasn't gonna rape you. I just wanted to hold you a li'l."
