Allison, Dorothy E. (b. 1949) Dorothy Allison refuses to write didactic or romantic illustrations of the lesbian experience, focusing instead on the sheer survival of her lesbian characters in the hostile environment of Southern working-class families. Allison was born in 1949 in Greenville, South Carolina, the setting for her first collection of short stories, Trash (1988), and her highly acclaimed novel, Bastard Out of Carolina (1992). She was graduated from Florida Presbyterian College in 1971 and subsequently earned her M.A. in anthropology at the New School for Social Research. Sponsor Message.
The Women Who Hate Me , a volume of poetry, appeared in 1983; it was expanded and reissued in 1991. Trash won two Lambda Literary Awards, for Best Small Press Book, and Best Lesbian Book, in 1989. Bastard Out of Carolina was a finalist for the National Book Award in 1992.

Dorothy Allison (b.1949) was born in Greenville, South Carolina, the first child of a fifteen-year-old unwed mother who dropped out of the seventh grade to work as a waitress. Allison was raised in extreme poverty by her mother's family; she remembers "hiding out under the porch" so she could listen to her grandmother and aunt tell randy stories. Her childhood was scarred from the time she was five to eleven years old, when she was often beaten and raped by her abusive stepfather. Allison writes of her lasting sense of shame and guilt. After attending Florida Presbyterian College on a National Merit scholarship, Allison joined a feminist collective when the radical women's movement surfaced in the early 1970s. "Feminism saved my life. It was a substitute religion that made sense." She did not try to see her family until 1981, when she chose to return to her roots.

Corrections The Salon Interview - Dorothy Allison Laura Miller interviews Dorothy Allison, author of 'Bastard Out of Carolina' and 'Cavedweller' By Laura Miller Allison's long-awaited second novel, "Cavedweller," concerns Delia Byrd, a rock 'n' roll singer who abandons her career and returns with her third daughter to the small Georgia town where years earlier she had left two older children with the husband who nearly beat her to death. Allison spoke to Salon in the dining room of the bustling Victorian house in San Francisco where she lives with her lover, Alix, their young son, Wolf, and several extravagantly affectionate dogs and cats. Tell me about "Cavedweller," the glimmer that was the beginning of this book. I had Cissy in the cave. The notion was of somebody in such trouble that the only place she was going to feel safe was in this hole in the ground. And I had the notion of a woman who, in order to redeem herself, basically buries herself alive. And, of course, rock 'n' roll. I've been wanting to write a novel based on the story of Janis Joplin. Not a biography, but about that whole complex of working-class self-hatred and female masochism and self-destruction and great talent. Delia grew out of that.

Dorothy Allison
(b.
Born in Greenville, South Carolina, to a fourteen-year-old mother, Dorothy Allison was raised near her large extended family. After her mother married, her aunts provided occasional refuge from an abusive stepfather. The violence and chaos of her upbringing, stemming largely from her familys poverty, fuel Allisons writing, as does the strength she saw in her relatives survival despite such hopeless conditions. Her chance to escape came when a National Merit Scholarship paid for her to attend Florida Presbyterian College. She later earned a masters degree in anthropology from the New School for Social Research in New York.
Allison became active in the womens movement in the early seventies, working for several feminist publications and helping establish Herstore, a feminist bookstore in Tallahassee, Florida. She credits feminism for enabling her to become a writer. Although she had begun writing as a child, she viewed writing the truth as such a dangerous activity that she burned everything she wrote. But in 1973 friends in the lesbian-feminist collective where she was living convinced her to stop destroying her work.

Allison, Dorothy E. Bastard Out of Carolina
Genre Novel (309 pp. in alternate source) Keywords Adolescence Domestic Violence Family Relationships Poverty ... Sexual Abuse Summary This novel is a coming of age narrative, written from the perspective of Bone, the out-of-wedlock (hence, bastard) young daughter of one of the fiercely proud, dirt-poor Boatwrights of Greenville County, South Carolina. The story moves from Bone's very young recollections of life with her waitress mother Anne and her numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins; through her mother's brief marriage and quick widowhood; to her volatile, painful marriage to Daddy Glenn, whose jealousy of Bone, combined with his own destructive evilness, leads the story to a heinous climax of sexual abuse. Commentary Allison's gift is to craft a story with the acutely sensitive eye of a child. Bone sees everything, and tells everything, which is why this is an extraordinary portrait of coming of age, full of the complexities of mother-child relations, growing bewilderment with one's body, sexual awakening, self-doubt, and all this in the context of southern poverty, which also makes this a remarkable example of regional writing.

Patron saint of battered women writes, forgives
February 8, 1998
Elisabeth Sherwin gizmo@ dcn.davis.ca.us Dorothy Allison , author of "Bastard Out of Carolina," is the patron saint of battered women. She spoke at UC Davis in January to an enthusiastic crowd made up primarily of women and those supporting the creation of a new women's shelter in South Davis. Allison, the first of four women writers invited to Davis for this fund-raising series, speaks for victims of abuse. She grew up in an abusive, out-of-control home. "Someone should have taken us out of that house," said Allison about her mother and sisters. But in those early years, 1959-63, there were no women's shelters, no rape crisis centers. Families just endured or split apart. Allison's first novel, "Bastard" (1992), takes an intense look at how one family finally split apart. It's about incest, it's about women in the South, it's about how they cope with rough lives and rotten men. But the shocker comes at the end of the book when the mother has to choose between her daughters and her lover. She knows that her husband, the girls' stepfather, has raped her eldest daughter. Does she take the girls and flee? Does she file for divorce? No, she abandons her daughter and leaves with her husband. Her second novel, "Cavedweller," is due out this spring. In it, Allison continues exploring the motivations of women and wives and issues of forgiveness and redemption.
