Grif Stockley grew up the rotten-spoiled son of white landowners in post-WWII eastern Arkansas, an agricultural paradise or hell, depending on your perspective.
Hypogrif in Bubbaville is more than a memoir, for Stockley opens a window on the dominant white culture of the Jim Crow-era Mississippi River Delta, exposing his childhood home, his family, and especially himself, to unblinking scrutiny.
Stockley weaves a deeply personal narrative into the most formative event.
