Comic and tragic, unique and outlandish, CRAZY IN ALABAMA is the story of two journeys--Lucille's from Industry, Alabama, to Los Angeles, to star on 'THE BEVERLY HILL BILLIES' and her 12-year-old nephew Peejoe's, who is about to discover two kinds of Southern justice, and what that means about the stories he's heard and the people he knows.
A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK
A FEATURED ALTERNATE SELECTION OF THE LITERARY GUILD
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
I first read Crazy in Alabama when I was buying books for audio, and I thought it was one of the most entertaining, witty, imaginative novels I've ever read. The main character Lucille is a true original--and yes, she does remind one of that other famous Lucille-- Lucille Ball. As a matter of fact, Lucille
Ball is a character in the book. This is a little bit Thelma and Louise (but in a kinder, sweeter way), a llittle bit Eudora Welty and Flannery O'Connor meet Truman Capote. I can't wait to see the movie!
