Delilah Dickinson (Frankly My Dear, I'm Dead; Huckleberry Finished) has arranged a tour for some English professors from Atlanta to the Tennessee Williams Literary Festival in New Orleans. When an old man accompanying one of the Williams scholars confesses that he wrote Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, the fur flies.
VERDICT Light, fluffy, and a tad venomous when it comes to academia, Washburn's latest is a delightful way to spend a rainy afternoon. Think Laura Levine meets Susan Kandel.
