Description
FranklandWith his offbeat sense of humor and down home Southern sensibility, James Whorton has been compared to luminaries such as John Kennedy Toole and Carson McCullers. He sharpens his cutting wit to a keen edge in Frankland, following the misadventures of a wannabe academic who goes hunting for a secret history and gets much more than he bargained for. John Tolley is a bumbling college dropout who yearns to become a bowtie wearing, pipe smoking historian.
With his offbeat sense of humor and down-home Southern sensibility, James Whorton has been compared to luminaries such as John Kennedy Toole and Carson McCullers. He sharpens his cutting wit to a keen edge in Frankland, following the misadventures of a wannabe academic who goes hunting for a secret history and gets much more than he bargained for. John Tolley is a bumbling college dropout who yearns to become a bowtie-wearing, pipe-smoking historian. When he hears that Andrew Johnson's lost papers may have been preserved by an heir in Tennessee, he grabs his tweed jacket and heads south, convinced that he'll discover the key to a groundbreaking biography on the seventeenth U.S. president and the start of a respectable career. But things start to go awry when his car breaks down in the town of Pantherville, Tennessee. Tolley rents a decrepit shack owned by a neurotic ex-con and is soon sucked into a world of cockfights, coon dogs, and the politics of Pantherville's good old boys. Surrounded by folks as eccentric as he is, including an alluringly shy mail carrier named Dweena, Tolley starts to feel at home -- even if his quest for academic glory might just prove to be a wild goose chase. Native and newcomer, highbrow and hillbilly cross paths and tangle hilariously in this wry and ribald tale.Binding Type: Paperback

Sweet tees!
Size: X-Small, Color: Terracotta/Tiger Faces/Yeti, Size: X-Small, Color: Terracotta/Tiger Faces/Yeti
soft and really cute t shirts. I bought some for my eldest son but then quickly ordered a set for my youngest son. They have been so excited to match.
I feel like they shrunk a bit or maybe the sizing is off for my boys. I don’t know that they would fit past this summer. I love the fact that they are 100% cotton- win in my book!

Good basic shirts for regular wear
Number of Items: 2, Color: Black, Size: X-Large
I bought these for exercise recently and they’ve been really noice. The cotton feels thick but not too heavy, and after a few washes the color hasn’t faded much at all. They run a bit big -just feels a bit loose, but thats pretty comfy and actually nice since it circulats air nicely
Heres some pros and cons for ya.
Pros:
Nice heavy cotton, not thin like some other brands
Holds color pretty good after washing
2 pack is good value
Cons:
Sizing runs a little big
Shrinks a bit in dryer if you use high heat
Overall solid everyday tshirts for casual wear and stuf- nothing fancy but they do the job and feel like they’ll last longer than the most ones i feel.
