{"product_id":"slab-9781566893954","title":"Slab","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn a slab that's all Katrina left of her Mississippi home, Tiger tells her story, and it is as American as Horatio Alger, Schwab's Pharmacy, and a tent revival. She was a stripper, but is she now a performance artist and best-selling author, and it is really Barbara Walters she's narrating this tale to? We're too dazzled to know more than that this is about how a girl ends up in the backwash of decadence and sin and how out of the flotsam and jetsam she might construct a story of herself and the South to carry her to salvation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSerial killers, preachers, and prison flower-arranging classes. Bikers, bad boyfriends, and a stripper who performed as a Trans Am. Tiger has seen it all and as she sits on her slab, identifying anecdotes as they go by, we witness Selah Saterstrom at her greatest--funny, bawdy, and steeped in the landscape and all the devastation it has created and absorbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSelah Saterstrom\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eThe Pink Institution\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Meat and Spirit Plan, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSlab\u003c\/i\u003e, all published by Coffee House Press.
