Title: Witty, memorable; The South at its best and its worst.
Review: Childress uses that distinctly "southern" humor to marvelously intertwine individual craziness and societal insanity in this account of rural Alabama in the 1960s. Childress' sense of humor softens the sharp edges of the issues and reveals to the reader the lunatic logic at work in the minds of Crazy Aunt Lucille and the townsfolk of Industry, Alabama. His deftly recreated "Old South" where preposterous events were taken as a matter of course, and his well developed characters are an unforgettable variety that will stick with you as if you had lived next door
