When it ran a two-page map of the nation along with an uncomplimentary story about the post office, 22 post offices made the map, which showed how long it could take a letter to get to its destination.

Their real world is still both circumscribed and defended by the familiar: their parents, their teachers, their neighborhoods, the Pizza Hut. If they walk all the way home from school on a warm day, they have traversed their universe. They have no idea what an unusual future they are stalking...

"Downtown" is a cluster of frame buildings, including the abandoned log mill, a general store and a pizza joint. It was in Mount Vernon, where his mother lives, that Erskine Caldwell wrote Tobacco Road -and he might have been inspired by the setting, if not the climate...
