Milking the Moon: A Southerner's Story of Life on This Planet Paperback - 2002

by Eugene Walter; Foreword by George Plimpton


From the publisher

This sumptuous oral biography of Eugene Walter, as told to Katherine Clark, traces his unique, happy-go-lucky life as a writer, actor, translator, cryptographer, costume designer, chef, expatriot, and Southerner. Milking the Moon, already a Washington Post bestseller in hardcover, is destined to become a Southern classic.

First line

You may think you don't know me, but you have probably seen me on late-night television playing either an outlaw or a hanging judge.

Media reviews

“Amazing...We owe Katherine Clark an incalculable debt. ...Not since John Kennedy Toole’s A Confederacy of Dunces has a book come from so completely out of the blue to give me so much pleasure.” —Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post

“Katherine Clark . . . has edited Eugene Walter’s oral history into a book as amazing as the man himself.” —Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World

Milking the Moon has perfect pitch and flawlessly captures Eugene’s pixilated wonderland of a life. . . . I love this book—I couldn’t put it down!” —Pat Conroy

“Surprising and serendipitous.” —New York Times Book Review

“Anecdotes so frothy they ought to be served with a paper parasol over crushed ice.” —People

“A rare literary treat . . . the temptation is to wolf it down all at once, but it’s much more satisfying to take your sweet time. The most unique oral history of the mid-twentieth century.” —Times-Picayune (New Orleans)

“An exceptionally fun read.” —Atlanta Journal-Constitution
