Bitch Georgias Last Shot

I've never seen him called a Marxist and I doubt that he has been defined as a naturalist with a carefully balanced sympathetic hangover, the result of good luck and the enduring company of good women, -- but I am now almost prepared to call him a writer of sympathetic naturalism, and basically a-Marxist, because of good luck and the enduring company of good women. Reviews mention his believable characters, his strong and accurate scenes, his narrative power, his brilliant imagery and certainly the sensuous texture of his prose is first-rate -- honesty, clarity, decency.

True enough, for the most part. But something is missing. The man who wrote Wolf at the Door a novel about a young man who contemplates suicide out of guilt for being country and educated and socially impotent, until he meets a plain strong woman and The Trapper's Last Shot one of the most desperate and moving novels I've ever read gets reported again and again as a magnanimous good ole realist.

Wolf is good and well worth reading for itself and as an introduction to Yount, but Trapper is truly something else -- it is an important American novel, and not because Yount is a good ole boy, which he isn't. The locale and the large sense of Time is done very well. The novel includes some brilliant shitkicking humor along with the main line of downhome terror and ruin. There's a Studebaker backseat sex scene that is hilariously painful, an example of nostalgia with soul. Pool halls, blank streets, dusty roads, shooting dove, shooting pool, and drive-in movies are all done right.

Surely a sense of pathos and banality. Maybe some kind of tragedy. Surely misery at the heart of it. It tells the story of five boys who go swimming -- Cocke County, Georgia, during the dry summer of -. When they got among the trees on the river bank, the oldest of them, who was fourteen, shucked quickly out of his britches and ran down the bank and out on a low sycamore limb and, without breaking stride, tucked up his legs and did a cannonball into the water.

The surface all around, even to the farthest edge, rolled when he hit as if the pool were alive, but they didn't see the snakes at first. The boy's face was white as bleached bone when he came up. He seemed to struggle and wallow and make pitifully small headway though he was a strong swimmer.

When he got in waist deep water, they could see the snakes hanging on him, dozens of them biting and holding on. He was already staggering and crying in a thin, wheezy voice, and he brushed and slapped at the snakes trying to knock them off. He got almost to the bank before he fell, and though they wanted to help him, they couldn't keep from backing away.

But he didn't need them then. He tried only a little while to get up before the movement of his arms and legs lost purpose, and he began to shudder and then to stiffen and settle out. One moccasin, pinned under his chest, struck his cheek again and again, but they could see he didn't know it, for there was only the unresponsive bounce of flesh. With Book Two the main story begins, and it seems the snakes are forgotten.

The snake story doesn't seem to relate directly to the lives of the brothers Beau Jim and Dan Early and Charlene Early Dan's wife and Yancey Tillard, who will be Beau Jim's wife before the story is over. When I first read Trapper , I thought that the cruelly beautiful Book One was stuck onto the front and didn't work. After a second reading, I feel that it is a dark objective overture to the naturalistic vision that claims much of the novel. And let me recount the outlines of the main story, because in this novel the plot is a large part of what everything is trying to mean.

Scene by strong scene the writing is so good we are easily diverted from what the action is revealing. Maybe Yount is at fault here, maybe not. Maybe he is, in fact, essentially a realist of sentiment, who says the texture of our daily lives is more important than any sense of larger direction. But maybe he is telling us to watch out -- this human tendency to get caught up in the sensuous details of our lives may be the Devil's work, or History's, or the Boss's.

I think he wants us to pay attention to the plot. Pay attention or it'll get you. Pay attention so you'll know it already possesses you, is eating your lunch, is destroying your will and your soul. Beau Jim comes home from the Army to find older brother Dan dividing his life between a service station and a piece of sorry country land he is trying to buy and work.

Dan Early is at best semi-literate and he is haunted by memories and dreams of his father who was a moderately successful tobacco farmer in Carolina until hellraising in general and whiskey in particular brought him down. Father Vernon once connected a big circular saw to his Ford car, then chewed up some roads and bridges in Carolina -- a proud memory for Dan, but the reader suffers the humor of that violent ride as a confusion.

It's funny, but it's also an image of sexual and political defeat. Vernon gets off light from the law but his weakness in court troubles Dan at his source. Vernon was a good ole boy hey hey hey -- lots of laughs and it's a fucking poor life, for all its glory, and Yount shows it.

But Dan was tense and ready to snicker -- a feeling like feathers in his nose -- at what his father would say to turn the tables: He waited and waited.

His palms misty, the strain getting to his back, his kidneys burning. But the judge went on laying down rules for his father's behavior, and his father went on standing with his head hung, his big chapped hands folded before him, and his breath whistling softly and wearily though his twisted nose.
