" Behind him hobbled Granma, who had survived only because she was as mean as
her husband. She had held her own with a shrill ferocious religiosity that was as
lecherous and as savage as anything Grampa could offer. Once, after a meeting, while
she was still speaking in tongues, she fired both barrels of a shotgun at her husband,
ripping one of his buttocks nearly off, and after that he admired her and did not try to
torture her as children torture bugs. As she walked she hiked her Mother Hubbard up to
