Fanny Flagg was indeed something of a TV personality, but she was a fine writer too. Her "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe" is a wonderful novel, redolent with local color. I can't think of too many books that have four female characters as appealing as the ones in "Fried Green Tomatoes." A popular film (starring Jessica Tandy, Kathy Bates, Mary Stuart Masterson and Mary-Louise Parker) was based on the book.
