Pressestimmen
"The people in Miss Flagg's book are as real as the people in books can
be. If you put an ear to the pages, you can almost hear the characters
speak. The writer's imaginative skill transforms simple, everyday events
into complex happenings that take on universal meanings."
--Chattanooga Times
"This whole literary enterprise shines with honesty, gallantry, and love
of perfect details that might otherwise be forgotten."
--Los Angeles Times
"A sparkling gem."
--Birmingham News
"Watch out for Fannie Flagg. When I walked into the Whistle Stop Cafe she
fractured my funny bone, drained my tear ducts, and stole my heart."
--Florence King, Author of Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady
"Admirers of the wise child in Flagg's first novel, Coming Attractions,
will find her grown-up successor, Idgie, equally appealing. The book's
best character, perhaps, is the town of Whistle Stop itself--too bad
trains don't stop there anymore."

Kurzbeschreibung
Folksy and fresh, endearing and affecting, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe is the now-classic novel of two women in the 1980s; of gray-headed Mrs. Threadgoode telling her life story to Evelyn, who is in the sad slump of middle age. The tale she tells is also of two women--of the irrepressibly daredevilish tomboy Idgie and her friend Ruth--who back in the thirties ran a little place in Whistle Stop, Alabama, a Southern kind of Cafe Wobegon offering good barbecue and good coffee and all kinds of love and laughter, even an occasional murder. And as the past unfolds, the present--for Evelyn and for us--will never be quite the same again...
"Airplanes and television have removed the Threadgoodes from the Southern scene. Happily for us, Fannie Flagg has preserved a whole community of them in a richly comic, poignant narrative that records the exuberance of their lives, the sadness of their departure. Idgie Threadgoode is a true original: Huckleberry Finn would have tried to marry her!"
--Harper Lee, Author of To Kill a Mockingbird
"A real novel and a good one... [from] the busy brain of a born storyteller."
--The New York Times
"It's very good, in fact, just wonderful."
--Los Angeles Times
"Funny and macabre."
--The Washington Post
"Courageous and wise."
--Houston Chronicle

Fannie Flagg is one of the best writers about the south and "Fried Green Tomatoes" is her best book. Everytime I read this book it is like coming home to the little cafe downtown and to the sound of the old trains that used to pass in the night. The characters are like old friends and the strength of spirit an inspiration. I would recomend this book to any woman who needs a good laugh and a good cry because this book will give you both.

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe will make you cry, laugh, and realize, in the end, the strength of the human spirit can prevail over all sorts of evil elements
Fannie Flagg, in her characteristic voice, spins a yarn that will have you laughing until it hurts, while at the same time, exposing the horrors of racism and sexism in the south and the rest of the country. She creates the most lovable characters in Onzell, Sipsey, Idgie, Ruth, Momma, Poppa, Big George, Stump, Ninny, and Evelyn Couch. Join Evelyn in her rebirth in the "All-Black" Baptist Church she visits one Sunday, laugh as Vesta Adcock runs over her gardener head as he's napping, (he lives, just a few tires marks!) laugh as Dot Weem reports that her husband burnt down the garage, and forgot to back the car out in order to save his brand new saw! Flagg's voice is truly southern, rich, ripe with humor, pride and seriousness. This book will make you hungry and could easily lead to your gaining weight!
Told in a series of short flashbacks, the plot is not easily defined, but is perfect for the book! Read this sweet, lovable, good, book; you'll feel better afterward!

The Whistle Stop Cafe is a place that any reader would want to visit. I read this book in hard back when it first came out and re-read it again as a paperback recently. I laughed and cried all over again. The story is as fresh today as it ever was -- not too many novels can make that claim.
