About Books, November 15, 2008

Hollis Gillespie's "Trailer Trashed: My Dubious Efforts Toward Upward Mobility," is a hilarious collection of essays. The chapters reveal the stories of this former flight attendant who was afraid to fly; her parents who were an often drunk trailer salesman and a missile designer; her sisters, one very good and one rather crazy and her friends: Daniel, Grant and Larry. Hollis' adventures have been optioned to television and in the interview she reveals that Laura Dern may play the lead.
