{"product_id":"the-redneck-way-of-knowledge-9780679757672","title":"The Redneck Way of Knowledge","description":"This intoxicating book by the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Revolution of Little Girls\u003c\/i\u003e combines autobiography, reporting, and the dressed-up lies we call fiction. An underground classic since its initial publication, it is the wildly funny personal testament of Blanche McCrary Boyd, sixties radical and born-again Southerner, a lesbian with an un-P.C. passion for skydiving and stock-car racing, a graduate of Esalen and kundalini yoga who now takes her altered states raw, like oysters. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Redneck Way of Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e is about family reunions and kamikaze love affairs. It is about crashing an arts festival with two precociously decayed Charleston aristocrats and watching the Pope deliver Communion at Yankee Stadium. It is about the selves we try on and slough off on the way to becoming who we are. Throughout, Blanche Boyd travels the expressway between the realm of the senses and the state of grace, and reports on the journey in prose that combines riotous humor, diamond-hard intelligence, and savage lyricism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780679757672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.20w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/1995 pg. 187\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blanche McCary Boyd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38210847146165,"sku":"9780679757672","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_b2a45a0d-4bd9-4dd1-b6ba-a37e3f44201f.jpg?v=1610427137","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-redneck-way-of-knowledge-9780679757672","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
