A housewife revels in the secret world of her mind filled with historical characters and twisted love stories in this inventive sendup of Southern fiction.

Mrs. Hollingsworth sits at her kitchen table, compiling her grocery list. The subject of the list is not foodstuffs, but memories that never happened, inventions of loves, and strange conspiracies peopled by men who appear in the lonely housewife’s head—men infinitely more real to her than her own husband.
 
Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest gallops into her story, courtesy of media giant Ted Turner and two shady criminal types named Bundy and Oswald who are engaged in a secret experiment to create “the New Southerner.”
 
Her prying daughters believe Mrs. Hollingsworth is losing her mind. But in truth, their mother is simply looking for love via hand-to-hand combat on the surreal battlefield inside her head.
 
Originally published as Mrs. Hollingsworth’s Men, Padgett Powell’s Hologram is a stunning literary achievement. Strikingly unique, it is a poignant, funny, and unconventional fever dream brought to lyrical life.
 

Hologram A Novel edition by Padgett Powell Literature Fiction eBooks

Hologram is written in a unique voice, and tightly composed. I considered lowering my rating to four stars, because I found it got somewhat tiring towards the end, but it is a tour de force: imaginative, convincing, funny, sometimes disturbing, and definitely worth reading.

Hologram A Novel edition by Padgett Powell Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

This is the most unreadable, convoluted, confused book I have ever had the displeasure of trying to read.
I asked for my money back after trying to get into it. Not sure what the author was trying to communicate but
I found the writing style to be extremely irritating.
This is an interesting Southern romp through the insecurities of a middle-aged housewife, reflective of the lies that we all tell ourselves to make it through the day.
A reprint--be forewarned.
on my kindle to read
I couldn't finish the book. The plot wasn't as described.
It mesmerized me. I didn't want to stop reading, even though I wasn't sure what I was reading. It came together at the end.
This is the best thing I have read in years. So unusual, I can't even begin to describe it. Closest I can come would be to say Tom Robbins, but it is very different from him at the same time! I highly recommend it!!
