This is a work of fiction dealing with family relationships and the effects of small-town living upon them. The doubling is an important factor, serving to elucidate familial and filial responsibilities and the results thereof. The novel takes place in rural Florida, bringing together a drifter from outside and a native Arcadian. The ensuing relationship develops amid the violence that is inherent and often expected in farming communities. The pastoral image is inverted, yet the serenity subsumes the drifter, allowing him to perceive through the ferocity, the sublime. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 50-02, Section: A, page: 0434. / Major Professor: Janet Burroway. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1988.
