Overview

Simons Everson Manigault ('You say it 'Simmons.' I'm a rare one-m Simons) lives with his mother, an eccentric professor (known as the Duchess), on an isolated and undeveloped strip of South Carolina coast. Convinced that her son can be a writer of genius, the Duchess has immersed Simons in the literary classics since birth (Like some kids swat mobiles, I was to thumb pages) and has given him free rein to gather material in such spots as the Baby Grand, a local black nightclub. (It was an assignment. I'm supposed to write. I'm supposed get good at it.)
