Violence.
Marcet Haldeman-Julius and E. Haldman-Julius.
New York: Simon and Schuster, 1929.
The Unemployed Magazine Cover image

"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."
