Quotes

[Alison Baker] gives her world just a little twist and a pull; what's left behind is a pure strain of American regional humor that has an interesting new flavor...Reading Loving Wanda Beaver is like listening to a new-wave country song in which life's still hard, even though the girl got the girl. Or like going to a church supper where the gelatin salad has been flavored with ancho chili or maybe lemongrass. The New York Times Book Review
