L'eau se mêle à la boue dans un bassin à ciel ouvert
"Que font les peuples avec les lieux qu''ils habitent ? Cette question est aussi lointaine que les peuples et les lieux eux-mêmes ; aussi lointaine que l''attachement des êtres humains envers certains endroits de la planète ; aussi lointaine, peut-être, que la notion de foyer - "notre terre" par opposition à "la leur". Dans l''époque turbulente qui est la nôtre, marquée par le déracinement des populations et l''ampleur des diasporas, il devient de plus en plus difficile de se raccrocher à des lieux, de prendre pleinement conscience de ce qu''ils ont à nous offrir, et je crains que cela soit considéré partout comme un privilège et un don dans les années à venir. Les Indiens d''Amérique, qui furent les premiers à peupler ce continent et les premiers à en être chassés, ne le comprennent déjà que trop bien. Puissions-nous apprendre de leur expérience."

"This is Hamilton Basso''s best book, in my opinion. It has something of the quality of Stribling''s Unfinished Cathedral with more vitality, better orientation, infinitely more polish of style....The story of a South Carolinian town, prejudice-ridden, and nourishing itself on the old game of gossip. Against this setting we see the third of a line of rebels against tradition, in his particular fight for the underdog, the victim of circumstances and pettiness and intolerance -- and we see him defeated, in outer seeming, as were his father and grandfather before him. It is an interesting book, for out of little things the big significance takes being. It is a less glamorous book than one has come to expect from Hamilton Basso -- and for that reason, perhaps, a truer, bigger book."--Kirkus
