Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady is Florence King’s classic memoir of her upbringing in an eccentric Southern family, told with all the uproarious wit and gusto that has made her one of the most admired writers in the country. Florence may have been a disappointment to her Granny, whose dream of rearing a Perfect Southern Lady would never be quite fulfilled. But after all, as Florence reminds us, “no matter which sex I went to bed with, I never smoked on the street.”
