Charles Williams' THE DIAMOND BIKINI has been discussed on
the list before and I finished it. Bill Crider mentioned
recently re: backwoods themed novels and this one falls in
that category.
It takes place in the Texas hill country and uses a
wonderful supporting cast that includes an uncle building an
ark and an uncle making leather hides to sell. The kid
narrator, Billy Noonan, tells everything in a wide-eyed
wonder, but you just know it's the author's tongue-in-cheek.
It's not for every taste but a funny, fun read.
