About This Item
US: Penguin Publishing Group, 1984. Paperback. Good. From the author of The Whisper of the River and Epiphany. In this coming-of-age story, Porter Osbourne Jr. is a precocious, sensitive , and rambunctious boy trying to make it through adolescence during the Dep ression. On a red-clay farm in Georgia, he learns all there is to know abou t cotton-chopping, hog-killing, watermelon-thumping, and mule-handling. Sch ool provides a quick course in practical joking, schoolboy crushes, athleti c glory, and clandestine sex. But it is Porter's family- his genteel, patie nt mother, his swarm of cousins, his snuff-dipping grandmother, and, most o f all, his beloved though flawed father-who teaches Porter the painful trut hs about growing up strong enough to run with the horsemen. "The writing is elegant, reflective, and amused. Mr. Sams is a storyteller sure of his audience . . . gifted with perfect timing."-The New York Times Book Review "Remarkable both for its humor and its sustained and detailed picture of a mischievous Southern farmboy's life during the Great Depression."-The Washington Post.
