Dorothy Allison’s 1992 novel Bastard Out Of Carolina is a heartbreaking, semiautobiographical novel set in 1950s Greenville, South Carolina. The coming-of-age novel follows Ruth Anne “Bone” Boatwright as she navigates a world of dead ends, caught in a family who love, fight, and hurt each other fiercely. The novel is a tribute to the resilience of southern women. We will read and discuss both the novel and the alternate endings for the novel that Allison wrote, which were recently published in
Mississippi Quarterly by Dr. Monica Miller.
Read: Bastard Out Of Carolina, Dorothy Allison. Content warning: The novel contains frank depictions of physical and sexual violence.
