Mementos of a Belle Epoque childhood, with Southern Gothic. His father's firm offered Berlin or Paris, and his mother insisted on Paris, because defeat in 1870 meant the French "would understand the Southerners." Mom has him pledge allegiance to the Confederate flag, and when she catches him masturbating grabs a bread knife and threatens to cut off his dick - the maids mock him, "Alcotetof!" This is some weird shit.
