"Spence Douthit, is forced to abandon rural life with his family and move to the big city for lack of work. There, the government will convince recruiters with cheap whiskey and black lace panties to give to the women of the family to accept permanent employment as unskilled laborer in a gunpowder factory and a house in a slum. Currently, Spence is out of work, with a woman bedridden and addicted to a pharmaceutical tonic and a daughter (the one who brings money to the family) to be married to a veteran. They also have a 13 year old daughter but does not live with them; after being raped by a camel in the neighborhood, he escaped and moved to a brothel where she works. In addition the Government threatens to imminently deshauciarles. Child prostitution, girls who leave their homes by a nice pair of shoes or a hot meal, men who have lost faith in themselves; This is the environment that surrounds the Douthit family. Spence becomes obsessed with rescuing his daughter from prostitution, motivated by the welfare of the government, to seek a decent husband (which turn out to be a pimp); consequently complicate the plot tragically."
"Román výrazného vypravěče amerického Jihu je přímým pokračováním románu Tabáková cesta. Jestliže v Tabákové cestě je východiskem z bídy drobného zemědělce ztrácejícího při postupující latifundizaci půdu, práce v továrně, vtomto románě se tato cesta rozvíjí. Zemědělci, kteří ztratili půdu, jdou pracovat do továrny ve městě a výsledek je stejný: opět bída a z ní rodící se nová touha vrátit se opět k půdě. Tím se uzavírá tento bezvýchodný kruh. Umělecky a ideově nejzávažnější dílo autorovo."
