cornt 's review for:
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe
by Fannie Flagg
- love community of characters, especially generational; very organic feeling web, realistic little town
- don’t like evelyn, did not understand her purpose; originally believed she was just a foil for the narration and nostalgia but was annoyed when hearing about her personal plot lines; felt shallow and non cohesive w the other messages
- especially annoyed at her realizations about blackness giving her an epiphany about being content w her own life, but maybe that’s the point
- love the balance of fable w realism, the folklore tone
- balanced tragedy, joy, comedy, nostalgia, romance, mystery, violence, the entire human condition in a cohesive voice
