THE GRIM AND SHORT-STORIED SOUTH
Caldwell’s unflinching portraits of the Depression-era South reach their fullest expression in this searing collection of seventeen stories. Alongside works like Tobacco Road and God's Little Acre, Erskine Caldwell remains a central voice in American realism.
This is number 10 of just 300 copies signed and numbered by the author. Further distinguished by Caldwell’s personal inscription to Aquilla B. Hanson, Jr.—a noted Baltimore collector—on the half-title, this is a particularly compelling association, uncommon in its condition and completeness.
