How I learned to drive

 

How I learned to drive / Paula Vogel, 96 pgs.

This play won the Pulitzer Price for drama in 1998. Li'l Bit is reminiscing about her teen years and her first sexual experience.  At first is all seems pretty standard until you find out she is 13 and the "partner" is her 44 year old uncle.  After that it is all just creepy and gross. Her father is kind of an ass and her mother and grandmother pretty much advise her that men are pigs but that is the way like goes.  Later, you find out her mother is in tune enough to worry about the uncle and his attentions but it doesn't prevent the activity that is the center of the play.
