Fiction
In Fannie Flagg’s high-spirited first novel, we meet Daisy
Fay Harper in the spring of 1952, where she’s “not doing
much except sitting around waiting for the sixth grade.” When she leaves Shell Beach, Mississippi, in September 1959,
she is packed up and ready for the Miss America Pageant,
vowing “I won’t come back until I’m somebody.” But in our
hearts she already is. Sassy and irreverent from the get-go, Daisy Fay takes us on
a rollicking journey through her formative years on the Gulf
Coast of Mississippi. There, at The End of the Road of the
South, the family malt shop freezer holds unspeakable
things, society maven Mrs. Dot hosts Junior Debutante
meetings and shares inspired thoughts for the week (such as
“sincerity is as valuable as radium”), and Daisy Fay’s Daddy
hatches a quick-cash scheme that involves resurrecting his
daughter from the dead in a carefully orchestrated miracle.
Along the way, Daisy Fay does a lot of growing up, emerging
as one of the most hilarious, appealing, and prized
characters in modern fiction.
