Cambridge don Helen Moralesrecently transplanted to a new job in Californiahas written a rousing travel book centering on the life and legacy of Tennessee native Dolly Parton. Apart from being a distinguished philologist, Morales is an avid country-music fan. For years she has especially admired the great country singer, songwriter, actress, and all-round smart cookie Dolly Parton. The Dolly Parton trail she traces is set entirely in Tennessee. It takes in key sites of Dolly s life, from the Grand Ole Opry, where Dolly became a star, to Sevierville, her birthplace, to various homes occupied by Dolly and her gigantic family, to schools she attended. Helen also visits the institutions that have helped immortalize the singer, including the Country Music Hall of Fame, where relics of Dolly s life are displayed as those of a saint. If this is starting to sound like a sacred pilgrimage, well, in a sense it is. It culminates at the town of Pigeon Forge, where the Dolly Parton Annual Parade is held, featuring the star herself as Grand Marshall, enthroned on a float. Helen was accompanied on her trip by her husband and their pre-pubescent daughter, Athena, who operates as a matter-of-fact foil to the author s own romantic and sometimes misguided English notions about American popular culture. It s good chemistry and makes for a hilarious read."
