{"product_id":"mississippi-sissy","title":"Mississippi Sissy","description":"Mississippi Sissy is the stunning memoir from Kevin Sessums, a celebrity journalist who grew up scaring other children, hiding terrible secrets, pretending to be Arlene Frances and running wild in the South.\n\nAs he grew up in Forest, Mississippi, befriended by the family maid, Mattie May, he became a young man who turned the word \"sissy\" on its head, just as his mother taught him. In Jackson, he is befriended by Eudora Welty and journalist Frank Hains, but when Hains is brutally murdered in his antebellum mansion, Kevin's long road north towards celebrity begins. In his memoir, Kevin Sessums brings to life the pungent American south of the 1960s and the world of the strange little boy who grew there.\n\n\"Kevin Sessums is some sort of cockeyed national treasure.” ―Michael Cunningham\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0312341024\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0312341024.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sessums, Kevin\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
