Southern Fried Divorce

by Judy Conner · 2004

+ Want to read

Quirky Southern humor brings the ridiculous to light in this narrative of a woman's battles with marriage, divorce, and motherhood. Judy Conner's ex-husband, referred to only as That X, figures prominently through anecdotes that attempt to humiliate him, but that also recollect the passionate beginnings of a relationship turned sour. Hilarious vignettes that provide a window into down-home culture include the rules to Redneck Roulette, instructions on how to cook the best Christmas roast south of the Mason-Dixon line, and tips for synchronized swimming at the World's Fair with your dog. Tragedy and comedy intertwine in this piquant tale of lost love with a Southern accent.
