About This Item
New York. 1947. February 1947. Pocket Books. 1st Pocket Books Paperback Printing. Some Water Staining Along Side Edge, Otherwise Good in Worn Wrappers. 312 pages. paperback. 392. keywords: Literature America Vintage Paperbacks. FROM THE PUBLISHER - SALT HUMOR AND EARTHY PASSION. These stories by Erskine Caldwell, author of TOBACCO ROAD and GOD'S LITTEL ACRE, are a series of short, hard, well-timed punches. Sometimes his blows land on the funnybone; often they land on the point of the chin - always with irresistible force. Here is Maud Island,' here raw physical passion is the only enjoyment left in the degenerate life of a backwoods Southern community. Here is the driving power of Saturday Afternoon' and Kneel to the Rising Sun,' classics of terror and brutality. And here are stories like Grassfire' and Midwinter Guest,' about stubborn eccentrics of Maine whose laughter is taken in strong doses. Rich in humor and violent in emotion. Caldwell's tales are moving pictures of individuals in racy decay, and of human society seen in its most dramatic moments. inventory #37221
