8vo. 266 pp. Stated First Edition. Erskine Caldwell recently visited a number of America's hard-hit sections, among them the South, with its vicious systems of share-cropping and tenant-farming that smack of feudal times; the Drought area, those long mid-Western expanses sterilized by fierce dust storms and a relentless sun that have deprived thousands of Americans of their homes and their livelihood; Detroit, the hotbed of labor conflict, where many workers are never sure of their jobs from one day to the next. Mr. Caldwell carefully surveyed the situation everywhere he went, talking to share-croppers, dispossessed whites and negroes, farm owners, factory workers. Doing most of the listening, he was able to get first hand impressions of an America that is changing rapidly under the stress of economic and physical pressure. He has written down his experiences in a style as readable and as human as the prose of his novels. His sketches, characterized by the same objectivity and artistry that make him one of America's finest writers, often have a unity about them akin to that of his short stories. The sum and total of these masterfully reported observations constitute a breath-taking commentary on contemporary, restless America. Both covers show some mildew damage. Back hinge has three pin holes. Overall condition is Good only. Dust jacket shows a little soil and one closed tear. Overall very good.
