Georgia Boy Paperback - 1995
by Erskine Caldwell; Foreword by Roy Blount
In this collection of 14 interrelated stories, 12-year-old William Stroup recounts the ludricrous predicaments and often self-imposed hardships his family endures. Beneath the book's folksy lightheartedness, however, lie the problems of indigence, racism, and apathy that Caldwell confronted repeatedly in his fiction.
From the rear cover
In this appealing collection of fourteen interrelated stories, twelve-year-old William Stroup recounts the ludicrous predicaments and often self-imposed hardships his family endures. Playing on the tension between his hardworking, sensible mother and his disarmingly likable but shiftless and philandering father, William tells of Pa's flirtation with a widow, his swapping match with a band of gypsies, his battle of wits with a traveling silk-tie saleswoman, and his get-rich-quick schemes based on selling Ma's old love letters and collecting scrap iron.
