Description

In this classic Depression-era Texas novel, three wayfaring comrades ask for no pity as they travel the country looking for signs from the Higher Powers - and for whiskey and women. As Eddie, the narrator, muses the Higher Powers had meant us to live like wild free studhorses roaming the face of the earth and gladdening whatever hearts we run across. Finding their way to a camp under a Brazos River bridge, Eddie, Mike and Jimmy survive on windfalls they find, con, or take outright. Their ribald adventures sparkle with humorous philosophy and wry social satire. One can scarcely find a book that is more politically incorrect than Walls Rise Up, writes Judyth Rigler in the foreword, yet the reader . . . finds it easy to laugh at descriptions of shiftless hoboes, alcoholics, loose women, dimwitted giants, liars, thieves and the like. First published in 1939 by Doubleday Doran, this reprint includes a little known, previously unpublished chapter that Perry had intended for a future edition.
