A propos de cet article

What is Southern Ladies and Gentlemen about? This is not a novel. It is a humorous, satirical examination of Southern culture and the people who inhabit it. Florence King uses a mixture of essays, observations, anecdotes and exaggerated character types to poke fun at Southern manners, customs, social expectations and contradictions. Some of the subjects she examines include: the stereotypical Southern lady Southern men and the "good ole boy" Southern manners and social etiquette courtship and sexuality family relationships drinking and partying Southern class distinctions religion and regional traditions attitudes toward outsiders the lingering effects of the Civil War the peculiar contradictions of Southern culture The book is deliberately provocative and was written in a very irreverent, sometimes sexually explicit and politically incorrect style. King's humor is simultaneously affectionate and sharply critical. The later publisher description calls it a "field guide" to Southern culture and emphasizes King's combination of sharp satire and affection for the South. One particularly interesting feature of your edition is the advertising material on the rear cover. It describes the book as a bestseller and promotes its provocative sexual humor. That gives the book a very recognizable 1970s paperback sensibility. 🕰️ Original book 1975 Original publisher Stein & Day Original format Hardcover Bantam edition April 1976 Your printing 5th printing Your printing date February 1979 Publisher Bantam Books Format Paperback The rapid printing history is significant.
