Since Tiger is an exotic dancer-turned-performance artist, it's not surprising that this chronicle of her shifting fortunes in the darkly decadent South is presented in two acts, with Act I: Tiger offering scenes like "Tiger Goes to the Dogs" and Act II: Preacher featuring frequent biblical incantation, though the title character was simply named Preacher by a mother wanting something better for her son. Tiger's Act I meditations would be called rambling if they weren't so absorbingly, concisely written; they end with Tiger sitting on the slab that's all Katrina left of her Mississippi home. In Act II, as Preacher suffers an accident, a fortune teller brings Tiger a vision of the coming ruin. VERDICT Not for fans of continuous narrative but weirdly wonderful.
