Coleman Dowell"s hilarious, beautiful 1977 "Southern Gothic" tells the story of a spinster schoolteacher who decides to write a "perverse tale" about one of her former students, a Kentucky farmer named Jim, endowing him with unnaturally large genitals. Miss Ethel"s tawdry tale of Jim"s frustrated relationship with his petite wife takes an unexpected turn with the appearance of a randy teenage boy named Jabez, as intrigued by Jim"s "too much flesh" as his wife is repelled.
