On a slab that's all Katrina left of her Mississippi home, Tiger
tells her story, and it is as American as Horatio Alger, Schwab's
Pharmacy, and a tent revival. She was a stripper, but is she now a
performance artist and best-selling author, and it is really
Barbara Walters she's narrating this tale to? We're too dazzled to
know more than that this is about how a girl ends up in the
backwash of decadence and sin and how out of the flotsam and jetsam
she might construct a story of herself and the South to carry her
to salvation. Serial killers, preachers, and prison
flower-arranging classes. Bikers, bad boyfriends, and a stripper
who performed as a Trans Am. Tiger has seen it all and as she sits
on her slab, identifying anecdotes as they go by, we witness Selah
Saterstrom at her greatest-funny, bawdy, and steeped in the
landscape and all the devastation it has created and absorbed.
Selah Saterstrom is the author of the novels The Pink Institution,
The Meat and Spirit Plan, and Slab, all published by Coffee House
Press. She is also the author of Tiger Goes to the Dogs, a limited
edition letterpress project published by Nor By Press. Her prose,
poetry, and interviews can be found in publications such as The
Black Warrior Review, Postroad, Tarpaulin Sky, Fourteen Hills, and
other places. She is the director of the PhD program in creative
writing at the University of Denver and teaches and lectures
throughout the United States.
