Erskine Caldwell

Erskine Caldwell

University of Georgia Press, 1995

God's Little Acre was ahead of its time...Mary from Georgia
Maybe this book was too contemporary for its 1930's audience. However, the theme and language are quite tame compared to some of the works of the 21st century writers. Although there are many people in Georgia who are extemely intelligent and have created the best ...

Tobacco Road

Erskine Caldwell

University of Georgia Press, 1995

Debasing, but not necessarily limited to Southerners...
I find it rather humorous to note that not only do the majority of the people getting offended by this work of literary brilliance hail from south of the Mason-Dixon, but also that no one seems to have a clue of Caldwell's primary intention. His always-controversial ...

Georgia Boy

Erskine Caldwell, Roy, Jr. Blount

University of Georgia Press, 1995

"Falling Out Over A Little Thing Like Kinship"
Equal parts burlesque, farce, and tall tale, Erskine Caldwell's interrelated short story collection Georgia Boy (1943) finds its author near the peak of his writing talent. The fourteen stories are narrated by young William Stroup, the observant only child of a poor ...

Journeyman (Brown Thrasher Books)

Erskine Caldwell

Storming Heaven By Force Of Lung
Written with difficulty and poorly received by critics upon release in 1938, Journeyman directly followed Caldwell's two successful masterpieces, Tobacco Road and God's Little Acre. While less overtly funny than Tobacco Road and less touching than God's Little Acre, ...

The Stories of Erskine Caldwell

Erskine Caldwell

University of Georgia Press, 1996

sharp and concise
Caldwell's stories are very sharp, concise and pointed. No word is wasted in his deceptively simple way of adressing Southern life in America. This anthology of short stories makes it pretty obvious that Caldwell ought to be read for years to come. Far more than a ...
