"A novel about the real American small town of today. Not horse-trading deacons and pink romance in sunbonnets, but farmline telephones, Fords, land-deals, the movies, and trips to the metropolis or Los Angeles—and Respectability like a vast wall shutting out gaiety and wonder" (first issue dust jacket blurb).
