Southern Lady Code: Essays - Helen Ellis

Descriere Southern Lady Code: Essays - Helen Ellis

\nI loved it. --Ann Patchett \n \nHelen Ellis has a mantra: If you don't have something nice to say, say something not-so-nice in a nice way. Say weathered instead of she looks like a cake left out in the rain and I'm not in charge instead of they're doing it wrong. In these twenty-three raucous essays, Ellis transforms herself into a dominatrix Donna Reed to save her marriage, inadvertently steals a Burberry trench coat, avoids a neck lift, and finds a black-tie gown that gives her the confidence of a drag queen. While she may have left Alabama for New York City, Helen Ellis is clinging to her Southern accent like mayonnaise to white bread, and offering readers a hilarious, completely singular view on womanhood for both sides of the Mason-Dixon. \n
