I finally got a copy of this book after first hearing about it for a colleague twelve years ago. Looking forward to long-form weirdness.

Lest anyone miss the connection between pockets in your clothes and patriarchy:

“To his horror [Toad] recollected that he had left both coat and waistcoat behind him in his cell, and with them ... all that makes life worth living, all that distinguished the many-pocketed animal, the lord of creation, from the inferior one-pocketed or no-pocketed productions that hop or trip about permissively, unequipped for the real contest.”

bcubbage @WhatThePuck I remember liking the version I read. This one purports to be the “original” version that restores a lot of stuff that got cut later. I have heard good things—I hope it lives up to the advance billing! 6y
WhatThePuck @bcubbage now I have to check what version I have. Lol. 6y

Now reading. Southern YA that compares favorably to Fannie Flagg. The pacing is a little slow, but it more than makes up for that I‘m keen observations of small-town red state life.

A local convent liquidated its library several years ago. The Spanish professor at the community college at which I taught took most of their foreign-language library. He kept most of the books in Spanish, but no one seemed to want the books in French. Except for me, that is. I came away with a sizable French library. I guess it‘s time to start enjoying it.

“ ‘If a body‘s ever took charity, it makes a burn that don‘t come out. ... We was hungry—they made us crawl for our dinner. They took our dignity. I hate ‘em! ... Mis‘ Joad, we don‘t allow nobody to give nothing to another person. They can give it to the camp, an‘ the camp can pass it out. We won‘t have no charity!‘ “
