We will read, learn about, and discuss this award-winning book from 1999. Though officially a memoir of Ray’s childhood in rural Georgia amongst junkyards and conservative, evangelical religion, it is also a clarion call of naturalist writing as well as a compelling story of childhood lived amid poverty, mental illness, and the threatened destruction of the local ecosystem of the longleaf pine. Class readings will be supple-mented by additional work by Ray, including her poetry and other nature writing.
