“Eli Cranor has written a brilliant opera buffa for the Deep South, set in red zones and blues bars and Waffle Houses. Borrowing plot lines from Tommy Tuberville and Robert Johnson, pulling characters from William Faulkner and Robert Penn Warren, his gonzo writing delivers big laughs and bigger questions about our beloved game day rites and rituals.”
— John T. Edge, host of SEC Network’s TrueSouth Willie Morris Award nominee |
