Reread this terrific novel and how tragic that so many of its themes are even more relevant today than when it was written almost thirty years ago. As a tragedy about inequality in modern American it is exceptional and stands with something like Grapes of Wrath in its portrayal of how poverty and a desire to escape poverty can lead to tragedy.
