Description
Recounts Miller's coming-of-age in Depression-era Orangeburg, South Carolina. Reconstructs the sights, sounds, and social complexities of the pre-civil rights South and his youth as a closet rebel who successfully evaded the worst strictures of a racially segregated small town. By the time he is forced into exile, we realize that this fate was inevitable for a young man too intelligent and aware of the limitations of his society to remain there without disastrous consequences.
