This book as a cake (2022 challenge):
This cake is odd. It's lumpy and has no icing and smells bad. When you cut it, the cross section shows a congealed porridge of rotten tobacco leaves, lye, and animal blood. You eat it and die.

As I was reading this book, listening to the cadence and the voice of the author, it dawned on me that I had seen him before. Some time ago we watched a film Called Searching for the Wrong-eyed Jesus and I couldn't get it out of my head that the author who told some grisly tales of the south featured in the film had to be Harry Crews. Yep! Sure was! If we can find a working VHS player we'll rewatch the film. You have to bury your possum head the right way or he'll find you and get possum revenge.
