Biography & Autobiography. Essays. Nonfiction. Humor (Nonfiction.) HTML:Welcome to the unique world of Bailey White. Her aunt Belle may take you to see her bellowing pet alligator. Her uncle Jimbuddy may appall you with his knack for losing pieces of himself. Most of all, you may succumb utterly to the charms of Baileyâ??s mama, who will take you to a juke joint so raunchy it scared Ernest Hemingway or tuck you into her antique guest bed that has the disconcerting habit of folding up on people while they sleep.

Its connected stories are very southern, which means southeastern US fiction, with characters and incidents which are both very interesting, but also hard for me to understand. ( )

This is an easy read full of short essays & anecdotes. Almost all of them made me chuckle and some even made me laugh out loud! I am also a Southern woman, just younger than Bailey White by maybe 10 -20 years but I saw the south that I loved through her essays. This is a very good way to enjoy south Georgia and the amusing people and critters that live there. ( )

The first part of the book is about her mother whose house is filthy. I amidst stopped reading. Her mom is bizarre not cute not interesting. Once we got by her the stories were good. ( )

I enjoyed this much more than I expected I would. I had heard some of Bailey White's pieces on NPR, so her distinctive voice was familiar to me. I think having her pace and tone in mind while reading her short, autobiographical essays is ideal, but the stories are strong on their own. Individually, they occasionally seem like mere slices of life, but the cumulative effect creates an image of White's slightly askew, endlessly interesting, and deeply Southern life and family. And as an added bonus, despite my initial expectation that this book might seem, for lack of a better word, somewhat "grandmotherly," White sometimes seems gently radical in her opinions and behavior. She does not intend to shock, but she does intend to live life as she sees fit. ( )
