4.9/5 (22045 ratings)

Description:In the tradition of Forrest Gump and Big Fish, this fast-moving, wildly inventive historical novel by one of Louisiana’s most renowned storytellers wrestles gender, race, sex, parenthood, self-help, and redemption into an epic tall tale with a Cajun twist. In 1893, a teenage widow embraces motherhood and explores her sexuality. From a fishing village on the day a hurricane slams ashore, to the luxury, intrigue, and injustices of a bayou sugar plantation, to the infamous Storyville red-light district of New Orleans, her healing journey is continually disrupted by her all-too-precocious son. To protect his mother he’ll bend any rule, break any promise, even cast hoodoo spells, driving a twisting plot peopled with jump-off-the-page characters. A decade in the writing, finalist for the Faulkner-Wisdom Prize, Advice from the Wicked offers fans of Southern Gothic and magic realism an often hilarious, occasionally heartbreaking, but always unforgettable ride from a storyteller whose previous works, translated into more than 30 languages, have earned wide and wild “Knocked me out of my chair… Pitre offers an endless chain of surprises, chilling tragedy set within tender romance set within ludicrous comedy… A masterpiece.” San Francisco Chronicle“With the caginess of Br’er Rabbit, far-fetched but triumphant, and leaves some haunting memories.” The New York Times “Beautiful and exhilarating.” Los Angeles Weekly“Powerful sexual tension.” Dallas Times-Herald"Grabbed me from the get-go."
