Anotace knihy

On a slab that's all Katrina left of her Mississippi home, Tiger tells her story, and it is as American as Horatio Alger, Schwab's Pharmacy, and a tent revival. She was a stripper, but is she now a performance artist and best-selling author, and it is really Barbara Walters she's narrating this tale to? We're too dazzled to know more than that this is about how a girl ends up in the backwash of decadence and sin and how out of the flotsam and jetsam she might construct a story of herself and the South to carry her to salvation.Serial killers, preachers, and prison flower-arranging classes. Bikers, bad boyfriends, and a stripper who performed as a Trans Am. Tiger has seen it all and as she sits on her slab, identifying anecdotes as they go by, we witness Selah Saterstrom at her greatest--funny, bawdy, and steeped in the landscape and all the devastation it has created and absorbed.Selah Saterstrom is the author of the novels "The Pink Institution," "The Meat and Spirit Plan, " and "Slab," all published by Coffee House Press. She is also the author of "Tiger Goes to the Dogs," a limited edition letterpress project published by Nor By Press. Her prose, poetry, and interviews can be found in publications such as "The Black Warrior Review," "Postroad," "Tarpaulin Sky," "Fourteen Hills," and other places. She is the director of the PhD program in creative writing at the University of Denver and teaches and lectures throughout the United States.
