Alexander is in the first row on the right.
On Friday, November 5, 2010, Alexander was in the audience of the Oprah Winfrey show, along with 200 other men who suffered from sexual abuse during their childhood. This is the same abuse he shares in detail in his book, Gar Fish & Long Gravy.
Alexander Devereux’s Gar Fish & Long Gravy: Memoirs of Southern Sensibility, published by Outskirts Press, collects the stories, insight, tragedies, and uproarious wit of an unforgettable cast of characters.
Based on real-life experiences, Gar Fish & Long Gravy is about the mistakes we make, the loves we share, and the stories we tell each other that make us who we are. It is the touching story of a boy who ultimately breaks free of the poverty and abuse of his extended family, yet never forgets the important lessons he learned along the way.
