After having read Deep South by Paul Theroux last year, I made a note to read the 1932 novel Tobacco Road by Erskine Caldwell about Jeeter Lester and his farm and family. I just finished it today and my, what a depressing and dysfunctional life those people had in rural Georgia during the Depression. The fact that they were unable to do anything about it makes it even more hopeless. I’m glad I read the book and very happy and blessed to have been born in another time and place. #erskinecaldwell #tobaccoroad #paultheroux #deepsouth (at Upper East Side) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce_uQmPJeO5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
