A review by brandonadaniels
Tobacco Road by Erskine Caldwell

4.0

Caldwell certainly needs to be acknowledged as a pioneer of the Southern Gothic genre in the same way Faulkner and O’Conner are. This book is short, grim, and sometimes as funny as it is tragic. The audiobook by Mark Hammer was amazing. The book feels like it was written to be read aloud, which explains why it became such a successful play.
