Summary: Ancestors of deliverance
Review: What a striking novel. Heard of it from childhood and finally read it. As Laughable as it seemed, there were people very much like the one's in the story. Go deep south in the 40's or 50's and you would have seen them. They were there. They may still be there, or one's like them. Behind all the things that are funny to us lays dire hoplesness,selfishness, ignorance, and failure. But the main idea to the plot is they really didn't know or care. Their lives went on till they died and that was that. Again what a story.
