Flatback Sally Country -- Rachel Custer, Paperback Dorothy Adams She was the class clownRachel Custer's Flatback Sally Country is hard hitting and harrowing and almost hypnotically beautiful in its deft singing of the stories of America's vast middle, of the flyover land pinned beneath the derision of coastal elites. Personas like Tommy Two Fingers, Old Maid, and Flatback Sally herself tell us of lives "lived alone behind the turned back of the world," nursing "the desperate shame of broken teeth, of ugliness that can't afford disguise."
