Portrait of the Artist as a Young Redneck

An wounded and wandering artist returns to his Southern roots after many successful years in New York City and elsewhere. He finds his native land much improved, almost to the point of its finally having joined the Union. He had forgotten the Southern sense of humor (which was his own) and the wild storytelling tradition. He runs into unforgettable and hilarious characters filtering down from the mountains and hills of the Southern heartland. His long homelessness is stilled as his sense of place returns. This is an insightful and side-splittingly funny little slice-of-life tale. In fact, one reviewer named Mavis said, "I laughed my ass off!"
