Sobre este artículo
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons,, 1932. He still could not understand why he had nothing... It was the unsolved mystery of his life First edition, first printing, of this controversial American classic, the basis for the Broadway show which ran from 1933 to 1941 (then the longest-running play on record) and loosely adapted into the 1941 film version directed by John Ford. This title, Caldwell's third book, was included in the Modern Library's list of the Best 100 Novels in the English Language. Calder Willingham, another Southern novelist, stated: "A good case can be made that the inventor of Tobacco Road - far more than William Faulkner, Thomas Wolfe, Carson McCullers, Flannery O'Connor, Eudora Welty, Robert Penn Warren, or any other Southern writer one can think of - is the true mythmaker of post-bellum Southern literature" (quoted in McDonald, p. 206). Octavo. Original brown cloth, spine and front cover lettered in blind on gilt, blind road motif on front cover, light blue endpapers, top edge brown, fore edge untrimmed. With dust jacket. Cloth bright, nick at head of spine, one corner gently bumped; jacket spine toned and rubbed at head, else bright, unclipped: a near-fine copy in very good jacket. Robert L. McDonald, The Critical Response to Erskine Caldwell, 1997.
