The Suburbs of Scutchalo

By: Chapman, Tom

There are stories here in Scutchalo. These aren't stories found anywhere near vaults and yellowed mountains of paper in dusty archives. Our anecdotes, sketches, yarns, tales, pranks, and tributes, by whatever name we invite them back, touch a common thread and involve people going about the very same twenty-four-hour day we all appreciate. These stories develop from, "I remember . . .," and hearing one tale invariably reminds of another, and "just this one more before we got to get on home," while more sweet tea brews, or the pickup is started and moved the few feet to take the tailgate back under shade. "The Suburbs of Scutchalo" brings together the humor of a place and captures the essence of a region both long forgotten and richly remembered through stories passed around and nourished by generations living in this tiny corner of Mississippi and its wind-blown placing between Vicksburg and Natchez and closeness to Jackson.
