Man this author has such a mighty brush stroke for painting doom and despair. Reading it I drift into imagined hopelessness, yet the lyric of the story telling makes it compelling.
“Plantation justice was mean and constant, but the world was indiscriminate. Out in the world, the wicked escaped comeuppance and the decent stood in their stead at the whipping tree.”
Wow! See what I mean?
