{"product_id":"uke-rivers-delivers","title":"Uke Rivers Delivers","description":"In the best tradition of southern storytelling, \u003ci\u003eUke Rivers Delivers\u003c\/i\u003e features raconteurs as beguiling as the tales they tell. These lyrical, darkly humorous monologues portray a range of denizens of the American South desperately trying to come to grips with their inherited pasts. A Confederate reenactor receives a message from the beyond to lay to rest the remains of Stonewall Jackson's horse. A docent at Washington and Lee University's Lee Chapel offers prim instruction on the facts and legends about \"\"the General\"\" with both reverence and irony. The young son of a lewd, alcoholic, self-dubbed evangelist acquires the wits - and the will - for survival by protecting the family's sunflower crops. A midget ukulele virtuoso is so surprised by his own eruption into violence that he can attribute it only to genetics. One of Jeff Davis's fellow cross-dressers; the killer of John Wilkes Booth; a Rebel deserter whose superior exacts his pound of flesh - all these characters and more, through their twisted and torn vernaculars, seek understanding and revival in R. T. Smith's superb collection.","brand":"Louisiana State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55807616188760,"sku":"9780807131879","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780807131879.jpg?v=1778679926","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/uke-rivers-delivers","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
