Erskine Caldwell
Caldwell's skillful use of dialect and his plain style make the book one of the best examples of literary naturalism in contemporary American fiction. The novel was adapted as a successful play in 1933.

Critic reviews
"Caldwell's book is...well served by this classy performance, which manages to highlight the realism amid the rambunctiousness." ( AudioFile)
"An original, mature approach to people who ignore the civilization that contains them as completely as it ignores them." ( The Nation)

The story is a sort of unfortunately relatable drama about poverty. The characters are mostly strange, disfigured people with stubbornly ignorant behaviors. The events are a series of theatrically evil occurances which amount to an engrossing drama.

John Macdonald's telling of this tale was nothing short of masterful. Caldwell would have approved.
