When I read that chapter in the book, I was laughing so hard I was literally crying tears on the pages. And, it was so touching--reminded me so much of my relationship w/ a close friend I grew up with. I'll never forget what a treasure that little piece of literature was to me, what a delight to savor it on that cold February day in Detroit during the winter of 2007 or 8.

This little excerpt really connected me and my godfather. He would always remind me that we come from the backgrounds David’s family discourages, but it doesn’t mean we can’t get through life and bring ourselves and those around us out of the shit we’re in. I’m in my second year of college now and he still calls me “the rooster” lol.

First time I have heard this live. Like William S Burroughs, once I heard him live I always hear his voice reading his material.

Yes. I tried listening to the studio version of this (from the audiobook), and I had to skip it. The exaggeration of his brother's voice in this clip...perfection.

Today's Raleigh doesn't have an accent in particular because so many non-Southern people have moved here over time (or their parents did). You often have to go to certain outer working class areas to hear it. I know the neighborhood where David grew up and few people with Southern accents live there these days.

Sorry, don’t find this humorous. Good eatin’ is funny? The toothless fisherman gets laughs? Making fun of these regional accents and behavior is so tired and ooold.
