You may or may not have noticed that the world is a relative place. You may or may not think that rednecks are very smart. You may or may not even see a correlation between the two. But, if you read this book you will. Jacob H “Cobb” Baxter brings his sense of observation coupled with good old boy wisdom and redneck logic alive in print as he takes you through a journey about the relativity of life.This is no singular minded book either. A wide variety of subjects are covered. Everything from cows, cars, trebuchets, electricity, snow, and even the ancient Egyptians are exposed in a big game of connect the dots. The subjects are shown to have a connection to everyday life and the lessons that can be learned from them. They are approached in a very heartfelt way. But, they still have some hayseed humour sprinkled in just to keep things interesting. So, y'all just sit down and take yourselves a gander at all of this relativity, friends and neighbours. Y'all might just learn yourselves something.

This intoxicating book by the author of The Revolution of Little Girls combines autobiography, reporting, and the dressed-up lies we call fiction. An underground classic since its initial publication, it is the wildly funny personal testament of Blanche McCrary Boyd, sixties radical and born-again Southerner, a lesbian with an un-P.C. passion for skydiving and stock-car racing, a graduate of Esalen and kundalini yoga who now takes her altered states "raw, like oysters." The Redneck Way of Knowledge is about family reunions and kamikaze love affairs. It is about crashing an arts festival with two precociously decayed Charleston aristocrats and watching the Pope deliver Communion at Yankee Stadium. It is about the selves we try on and slough off on the way to becoming who we are. Throughout, Blanche Boyd travels the expressway between the realm of the senses and the state of grace, and reports on the journey in prose that combines riotous humor, diamond-hard intelligence, and savage lyricism.

They accept, but when they arrive at the hotel during a torrential rainstorm, they become caught up in a beauty contest run amok. No carefree bliss in sun and surf -- the Claibornes have their work cut out, trying to discover who's sabotaging the pageant and who's responsible for several murders. Meanwhile, a hurricane is blowing toward the Coast. As Claire and Dan get too close to the murderer, they find themselves cut loose at sea in the storm.

"Marcus (English, CUNY-Graduate Center and City College of New York) explores race, gender, and reading in Europe during the 1920s and 30s--a period coinciding with the end of empire and the rise of fascism. The author analyzes the work of such novelists as Virginia Woolf, Nancy Cunard, Mulk Raj Anand, and Djuna Barnes, and their treatment of cultural issues of their time--particularly imperialism and totalitarianism--in an effort to "relocate the heart of darkness in London and Paris, away from those light-filled lands of Africa and India where it has lodged in the Western imagination."
