Status Updates From Nothing with Strings: NPR's...

I will describe the book as Folksy. However it is not something I can bear to listen to any longer. I believe the narrator’s accent and twang was too much. I apologize. The stories might have been pleasantly tolerable but audible version,(again I apologize) was too much. For a few years I lived in Florida. The accent was hard to tune my ear to, then as well as now.
Perhaps I should read the rest. Maybe….

Self: disregard earlier note about title piece. Wrong spot. Reading it now, funny as hell. "Cheap tears."

Title piece; not funny, but interesting. I suspect White is one of those writers that appeals pretty much to white women over 50.

"There is no God in this world Emily, if there was he'd be down here screwing the lid on this sippy cup."

That bus ride was put together so carefully, I expected it to do something at the end.

Glad I wasn't deterred by the low average rating here. What a delightful little book. Like all wonderful fiction, it will be over way too soon.

Favorite so far: "What Would They Say in Birmingham?" Smash Dykes and the woman with the White Cat Bookstore

Bought from Powell's used and I love 1st two stories. Quirky, eccentric, and amusing. Just what the doctor ordered.
