Publisher's Note
/Allison/Dorothy In languid prose that beautifully evokes the rural South of the '60s and '70s, Allison tells the story of the Boatwright family, who refuse to be shamed by the label "poor white trash". Allison's keen eye and lyrical style throw into sharp relief the rages and sorrows of this bunch of drunks and thieves, making for an asto
Industry reviews
"Indeed, the technical skill on both large things and details...is simply stunning, about as close to flawless as any reader could ask for." New York Times Book Review - George Garrett (07/05/1992) "This book will resonate within you like a gospel choir." Barbara Kingsolver "I hate victim portraits. And I hate the pornography of victimization. Half of the incest books or family violence books dwell on sexual voyeurism...It's hard not to titillate when you're writing with this kind of material because American culture is consumed with it...A lot is based on real experience, but not the entire thing...I made her, Bone, a stronger child than I was, and--more important--I gave her a way out. If the book had been autobiographical, it would have been a lot meaner." Interview - Dorothy Allison "Allison has turned the rage she describes so brilliantly...into a compressed, exacting language that need never raise its voice to grab our attention." Vince Aletti "...a wonderful work of fiction by a major new talent has arrived on the scene...The literary territory Dorothy Allison has set out to explore is dangerous turf, a minefield strewn with booby traps where the least false step could lead to disaster. It is a great pleasure to see her succeed..." George Garrett (07/05/1992)
