RaveAir MailSchoenberger is not only a gifted writer; she is also a daughter of the Deep South, New Orleans in particular ... Schoenberger knows a Southern woman is expected to appear cool and collected, pretty and painted, patient and sweet, no matter what the weather or her desires might be doing to her. In this environment, Blanche requires a mask of respectability, but the mask is thin, tattered, ill-fitting ... Her composition of an obituary for Blanche is priceless. A line from the obit: \'Before her death, Miss DuBois requested that in lieu of donations, please send flowers.\' I imagined Tennessee reading that, laughing heartily, and raising a glass to Nancy Schoenberger.
