Publisher's Note
Harry Crews turns the classic rags-to-riches story on its head in this hilarious saga of the trials and tribulations of a beleaguered salesman. "An over-the-top comedy in which the veteran wild man of redneck fiction casts his satirical eye on the all-American world of door-to-door sales".--Kirkus Reviews.

Hickum Looney is determined to win Soaps For Life's annual sales contest--and this year he has an edge. Looney has found that ideal customer: the proverbial little old lady, who swallows all his patter, introduces him to all her friends, and helps him fill a record number of order books. But before he can claim the Cadillac, the trip to Disney World, and the $2,000 in cash as his own, Looney must contend with the Boss, a man who outsells his own salesmen year after year.

Industry Reviews

New York Times Book Review - Valerie Sayers

"An over-the-top-comedy in which the veteran wildman of redneck fiction casts his satirical eye on the all-American world of door-to-door sales."
