Interweaving visceral, atmospheric prose with historical
photographs, images and texts, "The Pink Institution traces four
generations of Mississippi women from their run-down, post-Civil
War plantations to the modern-day trailer parks that house the
youngest generations. As the impoverished decay of the Deep South
expresses itself through their bloodlines, a new impression of
Southern history and heritage emerges. The lyrical gravity and
singular style of this unforgettable debut novel will transform the
reader in its wake.
