A bit about the author, from Wikipedia: <\/b><\/p>\n

Erskine Preston Caldwell’s<\/b> (1903 \u2013 1987) first and second published works were The Bastard<\/i> (1929) and Poor Fool<\/i> (1930) but the works for which he is most famous are his novels Tobacco Road<\/i> (1932) and God’s Little Acre<\/i> (1933).<\/p>\n

When his first book was published, it was banned and copies were seized by authorities. Later, with the publication of God’s Little Acre<\/i>, authorities, at the instigation of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice (apparently incensed at Caldwell’s choice of title), arrested Caldwell and seized his copies when he went to New York for a book-signing event. A trial exonerated Caldwell,<\/sup> and he counter-sued for false arrest and malicious prosecution.

Through the 1930s, Caldwell and his wife Helen managed a bookstore in Maine. Caldwell was later married to photographer Margaret Bourke-White from 1939 to 1942, and they collaborated on three photo-documentaries: You Have Seen Their Faces<\/i> (1937), North of the Danube<\/span><\/i> (1939), and Say, Is This The USA<\/span><\/i> (1941).<\/p>\n
