The Humorous Story of a One-Woman Train Wreck--Winner of Black Lawrence Press's Big Moose Prize Meet Zelda McFigg. She is 4-feet 11-inches tall, 237 pounds, and convinced that she could be somebody, if only someone would recognize her inner beauty and star quality. Cousin to Ignatius J. Reilly (A Confederacy of Dunces) and Homer Simpson, Zelda runs away from home at age 14, and at age 49 1/4 writes this furiously funny memoir to "set the record straight" about her lifetime of indiscretions. Behind Zelda's rollicking tale of destruction lies a story of exile. Exile from oneself. Readers will see much more about Zelda than she knows about herself.
