STRAIGHT OUTTA DUMFUK: Raised by the Greatest Generation

By Joe White

Straight Outta Dumfuk is a passionate and personal remembrance of growing up in an Appalachian small town, population 258. Our parents and close relatives were from the Greatest Generation with the unspoken duty to raise and teach us so no matter what came, my brother and I could take care of ourselves and never have to depend on anyone or anything to survive. The virtues instilled, sometimes with physical beatings, were: unashamed patriotism, independence, honesty, save your money, fairness, hard work, self-reliance, never quit. in short, the wisdom of The Greatest Generation. It is a deeply moving and funny memoir featuring colorful characters with nicknames like: Blind Robin Borash, Bony Reed, Pepsi Malloy, Beanie Vowinkle, and Froggy Bish. White's own dark comedy and Appalachian gallows humor are ever-present. The 114 anecdotes are blunt, politically incorrect, sometimes rude, often touching from a time when families gathered every evening to eat "supper", laugh together and sometimes mourn together.
