The Bitterweed Path
Author: Thomas Hal Phillips
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469624133
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
This long out-of-print and newly rediscovered novel tells the story of two boys growing up in the cotton country of Mississippi a generation after the Civil War. Originally published in 1950, the novel's unique contribution lies in its subtle engagement of homosexuality and cross-class love. In The Bitterweed Path, Thomas Hal Phillips vividly recreates rural Mississippi at the turn of the century. In elegant prose, he draws on the Old Testament story of David and Jonathan and writes of the friendship and love between two boys--one a sharecropper's son and the other the son of the landlord--and the complications that arise when the father of one of the boys falls in love with his son's friend. Part of a very small body of gay literature of the period, The Bitterweed Path does not sensationalize homosexual love but instead portrays sexuality as a continuum of human behavior. The result is a book that challenges many assumptions about gay representation in the first half of the twentieth century.

"Thomas Hal Phillip's novels, like Faulkner's, are set in the north Mississippi hill country, whose terrains are populated by men and women who struggle against small-town restrictions and against the barriers of family, class, and race. In his books, as hopes are crushed by fate and human weakness, Phillip's bitter themes strike the same chords as Greek tragedies. Kangaroo Hollow was published in England in 1954.

Book Description
Inspired by stories told by his mother's family, famed documentary photographer Thomas Roma left his native Brooklyn for Sicily in search of his roots. Over the next fourteen years, photographing for months at a time, Roma traversed the island, challenging himself to connect with a culture and a lifestyle completely foreign to his experience as a New York City street photographer. Untainted by stereotypical images of Sicilian culture, these duotone photographs of his family's homeland are lyrical odes to the timeless country pastoral and the lethargy of landscape.
