The Poker Wagon uses the theme of a Civil War “house of prostitution on wheels” to spotlight the Appalachian Mountain culture during that timeframe. The hill people of West Virginia are descendants of settlers dating back to Old England and Shakespeare.
The author uses stories and overheard conversations from childhood to bring the rich and colorful language of this uniquely distinctive culture to life. The quaint illustrations have a tongue-in-cheek, honest sexuality that pokes fun at the elephant in the room, the subject of sex in daily life. The straightforward and brutally frank language and illustrations are refreshingly delightful.
