Franklin Daugherty |
Franklin Daugherty lives in his native Mobile where he teaches English at the University of South Alabama. The graduate of Duke, Tulane and Yale has taught English in Saudi Arabia, Japan, Egypt and Argentenia. He also studies German, French and Spanish. As if it were not enough for a former journalist to become a great author, he had the good fortune of having Eugene Walter as a mentor.
Franklin's spoof of Mardi Gras and old Mobile society is a hoot of a read. Isle of Joy is enjoyed by all who appreciate a marvelous story, well told. The reader need not know the inner workings and traditions of old deep south cities like Mobile, New Orleans and Savannah to appreciate this winner.
