Extractions: Dorothy Allison is now perhaps best known for her book Bastard Out of Carolina which was made recently into a movie by Showtime. (By the way, I think the movie stays pretty true to the book, except they play down the part of Aunt Raylene and her (possible) lesbianism - typical.) Bastard is a powerful and moving book and, while the movie stays reasonably close to the book's plot, It can't come anywhere the depth that the book has. Allison is also an excellent essayist and short story writer. and various journals. Here's a sample from Trash Language, then, and tone, and cadence. Make me mad, and I'll curse you to the seventh generation in my mama's voice. But you have to work to get me mad. I measure my anger against my mama's rages and her insistence that most people aren't even worth your time. 'We are another people. Our like isn't seen on earth that often,' my mama told me, and I knew what she meant. I know the value of the hard asses of this world. From Trash, published by Firebrand books, 1988

Within the community she had already attracted a devoted following with the publication of her poetry in The Women Who Hate Me (1983) and with her first collection of short stories, Trash (1988), the basis for the later novel. That collection was awarded two Lambda Literary Awards, for Best Small Press and Best Lesbian Book. Following Bastard out of Carolina, Allison published a collection of essays, Skin, and most recently, Two or Three Things I Know For Sure. Bastard Out of Carolina Bone is the nickname of a sensitive young girl in rural South Carolina who lives with her mother, stepfather, sister, scores of kin and many other rich characters. Author/reader Dorothy Allison's soft Carolina dialect may be a bit refined for her story. The abridgment has two problems. The reading...

Author of "Bastard Out of Carolina" talks about workingclass guilt and admitting that she likes science fiction.
http://www.salon.com/books/int/1998/03/cov_si_31intb.html

Extractions: Allison's long-awaited second novel, "Cavedweller," concerns Delia Byrd, a rock 'n' roll singer who abandons her career and returns with her third daughter to the small Georgia town where years earlier she had left two older children with the husband who nearly beat her to death. Allison spoke to Salon in the dining room of the bustling Victorian house in San Francisco where she lives with her lover, Alix, their young son, Wolf, and several extravagantly affectionate dogs and cats. Tell me about "Cavedweller," the glimmer that was the beginning of this book. I had Cissy in the cave. The notion was of somebody in such trouble that the only place she was going to feel safe was in this hole in the ground. And I had the notion of a woman who, in order to redeem herself, basically buries herself alive. And, of course, rock 'n' roll. I've been wanting to write a novel based on the story of Janis Joplin. Not a biography, but about that whole complex of working-class self-hatred and female masochism and self-destruction and great talent. Delia grew out of that. Cissy is someone most at home in total darkness, and it's not a coincidence that the two women who she goes down there with are lesbians, even though Cissy doesn't get that.
Dorothy Allison's Feisty Fiction: Truer Than Life

Extractions: FEEDBACK By Erin O'Briant "At a certain age, you realize your mama was right: moisturizer is important," Dorothy Allison declares as we lean back on the leather couch in her Bernal Heights living room. The author of the best-selling Bastard Out of Carolina and Cavedweller, Allison has opinions on everything from her sister ("a half-pint of irritability") to England ("the country is run by drag queens") to caving expeditions ("I always make friends with the female park rangers"). Allison's broad drawl and folksy truths often echoed by the characters in her novels coexist with an undeniable grit, a quality that must have paved the way for her current success. After growing up in North Carolina, Allison launched her writing career in one of the grittiest places around: New York City. She started out as a journalist. "How else do you support yourself when you don't want to work waitress no more?" she asks. "I used to write for the Village Voice

http://virtual-markets.net/~gizmo/1998/dorothy.html

Extractions: Elisabeth Sherwin gizmo@ dcn.davis.ca.us Dorothy Allison , author of "Bastard Out of Carolina," is the patron saint of battered women. She spoke at UC Davis in January to an enthusiastic crowd made up primarily of women and those supporting the creation of a new women's shelter in South Davis. Allison, the first of four women writers invited to Davis for this fund-raising series, speaks for victims of abuse. She grew up in an abusive, out-of-control home. "Someone should have taken us out of that house," said Allison about her mother and sisters. But in those early years, 1959-63, there were no women's shelters, no rape crisis centers. Families just endured or split apart. Allison's first novel, "Bastard" (1992), takes an intense look at how one family finally split apart. It's about incest, it's about women in the South, it's about how they cope with rough lives and rotten men. But the shocker comes at the end of the book when the mother has to choose between her daughters and her lover. She knows that her husband, the girls' stepfather, has raped her eldest daughter. Does she take the girls and flee? Does she file for divorce? No, she abandons her daughter and leaves with her husband. Her second novel, "Cavedweller," is due out this spring. In it, Allison continues exploring the motivations of women and wives and issues of forgiveness and redemption.

http://endeavor.med.nyu.edu/lit-med/lit-med-db/webdocs/webdescrips/allison734-de

Extractions: Bastard Out of Carolina Genre Novel (309 pp. in alternate source) Keywords Adolescence Family Relationships Poverty Sexual Abuse Summary This novel is a coming of age narrative, written from the perspective of Bone, the out-of-wedlock (hence, bastard) young daughter of one of the fiercely proud, dirt-poor Boatwrights of Greenville County, South Carolina. The story moves from Bone's very young recollections of life with her waitress mother Anne and her numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins; through her mother's brief marriage and quick widowhood; to her volatile, painful marriage to Daddy Glenn, whose jealousy of Bone, combined with his own destructive evilness, leads the story to a heinous climax of sexual abuse. Commentary Allison's gift is to craft a story with the acutely sensitive eye of a child. Bone sees everything, and tells everything, which is why this is an extraordinary portrait of coming of age, full of the complexities of mother-child relations, growing bewilderment with one's body, sexual awakening, self-doubt, and all this in the context of southern poverty, which also makes this a remarkable example of regional writing.
