With his ear for the small town and his knack for finding the
needle of humor in life's haystack, Philip Gulley might well be
Indiana's answer to Missouri's Mark Twain. In I Love You, Miss
Huddleston we are transported to 1970's Danville, Indiana, the
everyone-knows-your-business town where Gulley still lives today,
to witness the uproarious story of Gulley's young life, including
his infatuation with his comely sixth-grade teacher, his dalliance
with sin--eating meat on Friday and inappropriate activities with a
mannequin named Ginger--and his checkered start with organized
religion.
Sister Mary John had shown us a flannelgraph of the apostles
receiving the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. They looked
quite happy, except that their hair was on fire. . . . I was
suspicious of a religion whose highpoint was the igniting of one's
head, and my enthusiasm for church, which had never been great,
began to fade.
Even as Kennedy was facing down Khrushchev, Danny Millardo and
his band of youthful thugs conducted a reign of terror still
unmatched in the annals of Indiana history. With Gulley's sharp wit
and keen observation, I Love You, Miss Huddleston captures these
dramas and more, revisiting a childhood of unrelieved and happy
chaos.
From beginning to end, Gulley recalls the hilarity (and
heightened dangers) of those wonder years and the easy charm of
midwestern life.
