The writings of Florence King continue as Trolley Trollop
presents Southern Ladies and Gentlemen (1993),
"Looking for guidance in understanding the ways and means of
Southern culture? Look no further. Florence King’s celebrated field guide to
the land below the Mason-Dixon Line is now blissfully back in print, just in
time.
"The Failed Southern Lady’s classic primer on Dixie manners captures such storied types as the Southern
Woman (frigid, passionate, sweet, bitchy, and scatterbrained–all at the same
time), the Self-Rejuvenating Virgin, and the Good Ole Boy in all his coats and
stripes. (The Clinton
questions–is he a G.O.B. or isn’t he?–Miss king covers in her hilarious new
Afterword.)
"No one has ever made more sharp, scathing, affectionate,
real sense out of the land of the endless Civil War than Florence King in these
razor-edged pages."
