I was quite an innocent and Louise, whose father had been jailed for bootlegging and so on, was much worldlier than I was and she was quite sophisticated. And she introduced me to beer and Southern Comfort and -- [laughs] -- and to a lot of things that I found quite exotic and I must have read some of my poetry to her because I use a lot of those high school memories in Young actually. MS. LARSEN: ThatÂs your novel, written in 1955. MS. COLWELL: Because I can remember that Louise would be amused because in a group of high school kids, sometimes the talk would be pretty coarse and they would be telling stories and Louise afterwards would say, you didnÂt know what that meant, did you? [Laughs.] And then she would delight in explaining to me what I hadnÂt understood about these dirty stories." Size: 12mo (Small Hardcover). Please refer to accompanying picture (s).
