Tax-exempt? | Baby Sweet's This story tells of a venture between John Morgan, Jr. the dissolute heir to Appalachee's leading white family, and Baby Sweet Jackson, owner of the once-vibrant Red's Cafe in Dark Town. On Independence Day, 1966, the partners open Muskhogean County's first bordello, with two dark-skinned black women, Lana Lips and Fig, ready for the expected white clientele. Then a mysterious woman, announcing herself as the 'third whore,' arrives-and proclaims that her body will be 'for colored only.' ISBN 0820310697 paper • $18.95 232 pp. • 6 x 9 in.15 illustrations misc. illus."Stylish and funny, a pleasure to read.... The novel is related as smoothly as a tale told on a back porch." —Kansas City Star"One reads Andrews for his raucous and robust humor, his really profound knowledge of the South, his ultimately accepting and benign vision-of a world in which blacks and whites sometimes hate and midtreat one another but ultimately arrive at an understanding-and most of all for the entertaining voice that tells the stories." —Washington Post |
