A Childhood: The Biography of a Place by Harry Crews

4.0

Why this could almost lead me to believe that The Waltons painted an incomplete picture of rural life in the Great Depression. The Waltons certainly had a lot less hard-drinking, casual violence, and cruelty (domestic, 'neighbourly', and animal) than Crews' hardscrabble Georgia upbringing. On a positive note I now know how to skin and cook possum and could have a fair try at judging the age of a mule, should the need arise.
