Title: NOT your typical Southern memoir.
Product review: Ralph Bonner, God rest his soul, was not at his best in this. The book is more like a diary than a memoir; having highly charged and inappropriately worded phrases and sentences that would never pass Simon & Schuster's editing eyes. Speaking of phalluses as 'organs' and describing an acquaintances relationship:'She was in the 'sex adventure' part of her development. She married a high school friend who later he committed suicide.'BUt probably my favorite is 'Erotc Oil Well', where he describes himself and a date necking out by a derrick and 'we started necking...the rhythem of the oil well pumping sent her into an orgasm.' Ashaned to be a Southern writer; at least now I won't have feelings of inferiority myself after my first publishing effort.Okay, so I'll say something positive: This attempt made me laugh at the atrociousness of the type, phraseology, and simply the lack of simple English passages. Not for the faint of heart.
