Good Ol' Boys - Catfishin'

Amazon, 2006, Digital

Product Description

Since I am fluent in the 'Suthun' dialect, I enjoy writing and attempting to capture the sound and subtleties of the vernacular. Although the story is fiction, the five 'good ol' boys' are compilations of some of the funniest characters from my childhood memories in rural Georgia in the 1950's. They are southern versions of Hank Hill and his buddies from the TV show, King of the Hill.

What a Hoot!: Phil Whitley is uniquely qualified to write Southern Humor. Phil Grew up in Georgia and his characters are drawn from the real people of his youth. His description of the "Preacherman" in Good Ol' Boys Catfishin' is masterful. You can close your eyes and hear the sermon in pure southern dialect.
