...Learning Tree as just another fictional recollection of an all-American boyhood. For Newt Winger is a Negro. His graduation ceremony is segregated, and the defeated bully (another Negro) is driven to his death by a white cop. His brother-in-law is a dangerous drunk who loads a shotgun whenever he gets loaded himself, and blazes away at the sky shouting "I'm gonna blow the ass off Jesus Christ, the long-legged white son-of-a-bitch...
