Gain Access To Last Of The Southern Girls Penned By Willie Morris Disseminated As Pamphlet

am not sure of his purpose in writing the book other than to expose the pitfalls of political life, I did not enjoy this as much as I have his other work, In some respects the book remains highly relevant and is encouraging in that politicsyears ago was as jaded as it is today, I read this years ago and my lasting impression is Morris, like his contemporary Hunter S, Thompson, was much better at nonfiction, LC Call No. : PZ. M. As interesting as the story sounded, I just couldn't get into it, I bought this book at Book Sale for a cheaper price, Unfortunately, I misplaced this book and it's nowhere to be found, I wasn't able to finish even the first chapter of it that's why I've rated it that low, Carol Hollywell is beautiful, smart, elegant, and charming, A debutante from De Soto Point, Arkansas, and a recent graduate of Ole Miss, she is heir to a good southern name and a small southern fortune.
She knows what she wants and, more important, knows how to get it, She is, in other words, the prototypical southern belle, a Scarlett O'Hara for thes, and when she moves to Washington, D, C. , in, she sets the town on its ear,



Willie Morris' cleverly conceived and brilliantly executed novel loosely based on a reallife figure follows this headstrong woman from her arrival at the Capital and traces the ups and downs of her life in the political and social whirl of the city over the next decade and a half.
Eventually, she becomes romantically involved with a prominent congressmanan idealist, a reformer, a man perhaps headed for the very pinnacle of political life, It is at first a dazzling alliance, yet the genuine satisfactions they find in their relationship cannot long withstand the pressures of

the ambitions both of them harbor.
The very drives that initially brought them together in the end propel their love affair into jeopardy,

Morris paints a devastatingly accurate portrait not only of a powerhungry woman but also of the society that feeds such hunger, His descriptions of Washington and its denizensthe politicos, the journalists, the socialites, and the hangersonare nothing short of breathtaking, I wanted this book to be so much more! The most entertaining part of the book comes from the southern advice, but even that was rare, Mypure, southern mother can dish more on southern life and advice in five minutes than the sum total of this book, It was a stale story, I worked in Washington DC at approximately the same time and remember so many of the long gone restaurants and bars that Morris mentioned, Georgetown back then was so special and wonderful, Morris captures the essence of the time perfectly,
