Ken Saunders’s Reviews > Delta Wedding > Status Update

I grasp on every mention of the "bayou girl" so desperately because there is nothing else going on in this book. She had an affair with Battle (maybe George? I don't remember because there are no characters in this book just names) and now the photographer reports that she has been run over by a train.

COME ON WITH THE DEATH PART

Reading this and it's excruciating spending time with these idiots after all the years I have been reading Michael McDowell. So much more satisfying to see them served up to hideous ghosts and swamp monsters than have them endlessly preparing for their idiot wedding.
