Southern-Fried Woolf

When country music star, Michael (“Mickey”) Chambers falls off stage, his wife and manager, Briscoe, attempts to mitigate the gossip. But, when rumors of Michael’s affair with muse and singer, Velvet, are confirmed, Briscoe retreats into the literature of Virginia Woolf as she struggles to retain her sanity in the suffocating Nashville climate. In SOUTHERN-FRIED WOOLF, Drema Drudge creates an unexpected, exhilarating, and immediate first-person narrative full of raw intimacy and dark humor set against analysis of Woolf’s To The Lighthouse. Briscoe’s battles against betrayal, pity, and personal demons are shared with blistering honesty and revealing self-awareness which makes for an entertaining and affecting read.
