Morgan confuses his father with the angry Jehovah his father so often quotes. When he steals for the first time, he hears the voice of Jehovah calling "Thou shalt not steal." "Shut up, you son-of-a-bitch," Morgan snaps as if in reply. "You shouldn't have gone away with Zola." But most of Crump's dramatic confrontations, like revival-meeting confessions, have...
