This Week’s Southernism, Monday, September 18, 2017

Posted on September 18, 2017 by Deborah Fagan Carpenter

“Louisiana in September was like an obscene phone call from nature. The air – moist, sultry, secretive, and far from fresh – felt as if it were being exhaled into one’s face. Sometimes it even sounded like heavy breathing.” 

— Tom Robbins, Jitterbug Perfume

    In the summer of 1956 I worked in a Jennings, LA shipyard and Tom Robbins has hit the nail on the head. However, it was and still remains a great place with wonderful people!
