Killer llillci
By Clyde Edgerton
For those readers who adore the very best ot America s South
ern comic storytellers, writers like Fannie Flagg. Olive Burns,
Ellen Gilchrist or Allan Gurganus. it's time you met Clyde
Edgerton It you savor an eccentric, but warmly believable char
acter. (eel a tondness tor country folks whose righteous mien
lions are comically undermined by their very human fallibility,
it's time you met the folks of lislre, North Carolina His first
novel. Raney, was a delightful exploration ot the pressures ot lamily on a new
marriage, as well as the conflicts of mixing Northern/urban with Southern/rural
cultural heritage Walking Across Egypt, for which his latest novel is a sequel,
was an absolute gem The Floatplane Notebooks . his third and my personal favor
ite, expanded his cast ot characters into a marvelous extended family, and intro
duced elements ot tragedy as well as comedy Unfailingly, Mr Edgerton provides
his readers with full bodied characters worth caring about and stories full of in
sights into the magic and perplexity ot ordinary life
In Killer Oilier. Wesley Benfield, the mischievous delinquent introduced in Walk
ing Across Egypt, is now 24, still the honorary grandson of Mrs Mattie Rigsbee,
an unshakably enduring (and endearing) country woman who took him in, got his
teeth'fixed. and brought him to church Wesley is a resident of BOTA (Back on
Track Again) House, a halfway house associated with the campus of a Christian
college, (where they teach decent Baptist values to young criminals) on account
of somebody forgot and left their key in the ignition of a white Continental Begin
ning a bumbling romance with over weight, re haired Phoebe (resident of Nutrition
House, where Christians can Lose Weight and Gam Wisdom), Wesley tries with
limited success to reconcile his libido with biblical injunctions He also partici
pates in community projects, including playing in a gospel band with other re
forming criminals and teaching bricklaying to Vernon, a minimally "retarded",
musically gifted and outspoken teenager who eventually joins the band Evolving
into an amateur preacher who creatively updates Genesis and writes his own un
orthodox gospel songs Wesley unforgivably riles the band s straitlaced sponsors
from the college Equally well drawn are the characters Mr Edgerton satirizes, the
familiar brand of opportunistic. Christian in authority hypocrites who have done
much to give the religion a bad name in this country Needless to say. Clyde
Edgerton sees that latter types get their just desserts—and the good guys get
away
Most of all. Killer Oilier is quite simply a treat and a guaranteed good time

tor event funds be transferred,
but the IFC and the ASUO ex
pressed concern about money
being used for off-campus pro
grams.
The 1991-92 budget for the
Constitution Court was unani
mously approved at $1,235. at
no increase from last year.
The Pre-Law Society was
spared stiff cuts recommended
by the ASUO. Ed Henderson,
ASUO programs assistant, said
the recommendation was part
of an effort to streamline pro
gram funding due to the effects
of Ballot Measure 5.
Henderson said the first pro
grams to la* targeted were those
with an academic counterpart
The ASUO opted to recom
mend “seed money" of $200
rather than zero-fund The 1KC
decided that the Pre-Law Socie
tv does not have a counterpart
m the law school, and voted
6-0-1 to go with a previous,
higher recommendation Ar
mando Morales abstained
The Philosophy Club faced a
similar fate from ASUO recom
mendations. but was granted a
15.8 percent increase over a
1990-91 budget of $781
The Division of Education
Policy and Management Gradu
ate Student Organization re
ceived a 9.5 percent decrease of
its current $909 budget, which
was approved unanimously.
