Tobacco Road by Erskine Caldwell

5.0

Penned in 1932! Brutal read (yet it can be classified as tragicomedy too). Depicts the lives of the absolutely poor people in Great Depression era. A critical social study of the basic necessities like food, shelter and human charecristics like morality. No wonder it was banned and used to be publically burned as then too we as a society were pretentious and hypocrite. Must read if you are fan of Lord of the Flies, Of Mice and Men or the Grapes of Wrath.
