Tragedy on Greasy Ridge True Stories from Appalachian Ohio eBook Danny Fulks Reviews
I had high expectations for this book, I guess because its about my "home". In Appalachia, it is true that things are s-l-o-w to change. But, when reading a book about the area, you don't want to read about 2 funerals described the very same way. Two unrelated funerals are described "Mr.Phillips swung open the rear door of the hearse and pulled out..the coffin.Six men in dark wook suites grasped...the coffin and..placed it on a collapsible catafalque."(pg 74) and "The preacher watched as the undertaker swung the back door open...and let it slide slowly toward him. SIx men in fraywed wook suits grasped the handles..and carried it...placed it on a rolling catafalque."(pg 80)
Also,"..He moved forward and..rolled the satin lining inside the 1/2 lid. He took a metal rod from his pocket,inserted it..and twisted it shut." and "He worked with seasoned hands, pushing the satin over the body. He..took a metal rod from his pocket,inserted it into the lock & twisted it shut." On pgs 80 & 206, the pianists are described as "A pristine young girl struck a gentle minor chord...and rolled her hands into treble riffs softened by a..foot pedal" & "The girl at the piano sounded a mighty chord in 4/4 time". Its like the author just rearranged words through the whole book. He changed the names and places, but all the other words were strangely similar. There are many examples of this. The same description of dusty roads,flowers in the ditches, and men sitting on car running boards is sprinkled throughout the book. At the end, when the author is describing himself, I was offended that he felt he had to use "words you heard the day laborers in the tobacco field use" in order to sell his books. I might live in Appalachia, but my understanding of words extends beyond the borders of our little country ridge.
I love this book this is a story about my family in Ohio. I learned thing about my family history I did not know
great stories from a fascinating region of the U.S.
I bought this as a Christmas present for my son who just moved to Greasy Ridge. He really loved it.
This collection of stories made me homesick for the "good old days." Fulks has a way of making you appreciate this part Appalachia in his writing. I look forward to finding more of his books.
Knew some of the names parents and grandparents
