Seller Description
Genteel society ladies who compare notes on their husbands* suicides. A hilariously foul-mouthed black drag queen. A voodoo priestess who works her roots in the graveyard at midnight. A morose inventor who owns a bottle of poison powerful enough to kill everyone in town. A prominent antiques dealer who hangs a Nazi flag from his window to disrupt the shooting of a movie. And a redneck gigolo whose conquests describe him as a "walking streak of sex." These are some of the real residents of Savannah, Georgia, a city whose eecentric mores are unerringly observed and whose dirty linen is gleefully aired in this auerly irresistible book. At once a true-crime murder story and a hugely enter-caining and deliciously perverse travelogue, Midwight in the Garden of Good and Eoil is as bracing and intoxicating as half-a-dozen mint juleps.
