Imagine a combination of Willard Scott, Ron Burgundy, and Tolkiens Gollum, but from Louisiana.

The Fred essays recount some of his fathers choice exploits, while the second group includes anecdotes and observations from beyond the confines of his family. Additionally, Landry creates a triple-decker club sandwich of a book (with mayonnaise, of course) by including contemporarily written forewords to the first and second sections, along with a present-day afterword to wrap up the collection.
