<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The remarkable novel of two Southern friendships--the basis of the hit film--available for the first time in large print.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The people in Miss Flagg's book are as real as the people in books can <br>be. If you put an ear to the pages, you can almost hear the characters <br>speak. The writer's imaginative skill transforms simple, everyday events <br>into complex happenings that take on universal meanings." <p/>--<i>Chattanooga Times</i> <p/>"This whole literary enterprise shines with honesty, gallantry, and love <br>of perfect details that might otherwise be forgotten." <p/>--<i>Los Angeles Times</i> <p/>"A sparkling gem." <p/>--<i>Birmingham News</i> <p/>"Watch out for Fannie Flagg. When I walked into the Whistle Stop Cafe she <br>fractured my funny bone, drained my tear ducts, and stole my heart." <p/>--<i>Florence King, Author of Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady</i> <p/>"Admirers of the wise child in Flagg's first novel, Coming Attractions, <br>will find her grown-up successor, Idgie, equally appealing. The book's <br>best character, perhaps, is the town of Whistle Stop itself--too bad <br>trains don't stop there anymore." <p/>--<i>Publisher's Weekly</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Fannie Flagg began writing and producing television specials at age<br>nineteen and went on to distinguish herself as an actress and a writer in<br>television, films, and the theater. Her first novel, <b>Daisy Fay and The<br>Miracle Man</b>, spent ten weeks on the New York Times paperback<br>bestseller list, and her second novel, <b>Fried Green Tomatoes at the<br>Whistle Stop Cafe</b>, was on the same list for thirty-six weeks. It was<br>produced by Universal Pictures as the feature film Fried Green<br>Tomatoes. Flagg's script was nominated for both the Writers Guild of<br>America and an Academy Award, and it won the highly regarded<br>Scripters Award. Flagg narrated both novels on audiocassette and<br>received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Spoken Word. <p/>Her latest novel is titled <b>Welcome to the World, Baby Girl!</b> She lives<br>in California and Alabama.
