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.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"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.

― Erskine Caldwell, Tobacco Road
Sometimes, when I'm unable to understand Georgia's ability to support and defend Judge Roy Moore, it helps to read a little bit of Erskine Caldwell. 'Tobacco Road' reminds me a bit of Hemingway, a bit of Twain, and a bit of Steinbeck. It is both a social justice novel and a darkly comic novel that paints the ugly corners of human poverty and depravity. The Lesters are a family of white sharecropers that are basically rotting into the earth. Social and economic norms and even the family are lost. Religion is abused. Even new cars are abused and quickly swallowed by the Earth. The land is fallow, burned, and everything is going to Hell.
It is a good thing the novel was so short, because it was painful to read.

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