Provocative, passionate, & creative, with the propensity to offend and intimidate for various sticky reasons. Raw use of not entirely politically correct sarcasm, twisted, dark (Junigan) humor and metaphor shock the reader into a blatantly vivid and less public reality. Candid and risqué auto/ethnograpic narrations, poetry and rants are woven throughout the academic fabric and embeddded effectively into the literature. A poignant, gripping and frankly quite brutal piece of research. Frequent droppings of the f & a variety of c-bombs in a calamity of unladylike applications,(to which she replies, get over it people,it s just a word ),combined with creative use of language, offers a glimpse from a redneck, blue-collar, working class vantage. A solid attempt to make the uncomfortable comfortable , and no holds are barred .
