Lee Smith Bonus!

Posted by Key West Literary Seminar on February 4, 2008 | | Comments (0) |
As a bonus track, we went back to Lee's talk from the 2005 Seminar on Humor. Smith's tale of her high school English class re-enactment of Huckleberry Finn and Jim's journey down the Mississippi (in a raft of their own construction which they built in a lumber yard in Paduka, Kentucky) and became outlaws, folk heroes and local media celebrities is astonishing, absurd, inspiring and altogether delightful.
