4.0 out of 5 stars This is a collection of short stories., 4 Mar 1998
By A Customer
This collection of short stories can be read as a novel. Most of the action takes place in the late 1970s in a trailer park in the Northeastern part of the USA. There is good character development of the individuals who live in the park, a little sex and very little violence.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent description of human characteristics., 22 Mar 1998
By A Customer
I just finished this book; it is a fast read that provides really good descriptions of the human condition. It is insightful, and in places, quite eloquent. The depictions are so real that you will recognize the people in the story, but have to change their names.

4.0 out of 5 stars Naturalism at its best, 6 Jun 2009
By Christian Jongeneel (Rotterdam, Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This collection of intertwined stories, that could easily be called a novel, describes the doings of a group of hapless people in a trailer park. All have their dreams, their ambitions, but it is clear from the start that none is going to succeed. Destiny is against them, even when Merle wins the lottery.

Russell Banks describes the inhabitants of the trailer park in a naturalistic way, each in their own story, matter-of-factly but not without compassion. In this he reminds of John Steinbeck, though his language is not as crisp. A well written, melancholic portrait of America's white underclass.
