    Named an Okra Pick by the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance "Smith excels at creating characters somewhat boggled by the reality of who they've become--by their lovers and homes, their jobs and their cars, haircuts and bodies--and who, consequently, feel a pressing need to explain themselves to themselves. One thing they never doubt is the correctness of their opinions, especially concerning the proper standards of behavior for a Southern lady, and the failings of 'white trash.' Smith's humor is pointed but gentle; her characters may be priggish and narrow-minded, but they are never mean. [. . .] Such obsession with detail makes Smith's heroines both distinctively Southern and universally feminine." -- Publishers Weekly, "Smith excels at creating characters somewhat boggled by the reality of who they've become--by their lovers and homes, their jobs and their cars, haircuts and bodies--and who, consequently, feel a pressing need to explain themselves to themselves.

    Synopsis
    On a patched-up family vacation to Key West, a young girl seeks out movie stars and redemption for her fractured family., Lee Smith says that Blue Marlin is one of the best things she has ever written. She brought it to Blair because she felt the novella, originally tucked into her story collection News of the Spirit under the inauspicious title "Live Bottomless," never got the attention it deserved. Indeed, this novella-though set miles away from the Appalachia that is Smith's home ground-is this iconic writer at her very best: sharp characterizations, wry humor, perfect pitch, and a quietly profound understanding of human nature.Fans will clamor for this book, much as they did for her novella Christmas Letters, which was packaged with a small trim size, as Blue Marlin will be. Smith is hugely popular in the South but several of her books (notably, The Last Girls) did well nationwide. The Key West setting and the movie theme should broaden the geographic appeal., Lee Smith brings her masterful storytelling magic to this jewel of a novella that follows Jenny, an adventurous thirteen-year-old, down to Key West for a patched-up family vacation following the discovery of her father's illicit affair. Available for the first time as a stand-alone novella, this book centers on the Blue Marlin Motel in 1959, where Jenny, her beautiful socialite mother, and chastened father share their sunny days with movie stars who are in town to make the movie Operation Petticoat . Jenny is precocious and a bit of a sleuth, so her innocent "observations" to uncover the secrets of movie stars also end up revealing the secrets of her own family. Jenny confronts the frailty of family life while also vying for the attention of actor Tony Curtis and even a role in his movie. Smith delivers humor and honesty to her flawed characters with genuine Southern dignity.
