Violence. "The action, set in the imaginary central southern state of Texlarkana" contrasts a murder committed by a white minister with that of a teenage mulatto boy; a lynch mob hangs a scapegoat. "Back of this bloody triangular dramatization is a portrayal of the life, at once decadent and barbaric, of the town's middle and younger generation, whose bodies and passions ripen early." |
