At first glance, I couldn't tell it was supposed to be an accent. (Then again, perhaps I don't know what the particular accent is supposed to sound like.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660994103025515363.post-75876731087173874752009-01-14T14:30:00.000-08:002009-01-14T14:30:00.000-08:00Or broke her neck, waited for rigor mortis to set ...<I>Or broke her neck, waited for rigor mortis to set in, and then propped her up there.</I><BR/><BR/>Oh, now you're knocking my hobbies?warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07435376799015821975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660994103025515363.post-57961550388341582082009-01-14T13:50:00.000-08:002009-01-14T13:50:00.000-08:00The copy on the back cover sounds like they were t...The copy on the back cover sounds like they were trying to imply that the book just skirts on the pornographic: "lusty", "Uncle Good and his 'girls'", "earthy, uninhibited". Makes you wonder why it wasn't banned.<BR/><BR/>Based on the page 123 text, I was going to dismiss the author as a hack with a tin ear who had never met anyone from south of Philadelphia. But based on Bill Cirder's comments, I did a quick look around, and this guy was the real thing. He published in <I>Colliers</I> and was a popular novelist.
