Smokehouse Jam — Loyd Little

Why in the world would a man with a long-legged brunette wife and a red-headed lover walk out one afternoon (leaving them both in a hot tub) and head for the swamps of south Georgia? And why would he take a monkey, even a monkey who understands English, with him? -- Travel the exotic backroads of the South with Elk Adderholt, his 100-year-old-plus grandfather, and his prepubescent monkey as Elk unravels the mystery of why his marriage -- and his life -- fell apart. His is the delightfully humorous, sweet, and moving story of a man searching for himself in today's America, not unlike most of us.
