Her characters Gracie Mae Still and Trainer are reminiscent of Big Mama Thornton and Elvis Presley, whose recording of "Hound Dog" was imitative of hers. Part of the collection titled You Can't Keep a Good Woman Down, "Nineteen Fifty-Five" is a humane and compassionate story, and yet another example of this Pulitzer Prize-winning author's magnificent, unique writing style.
