A Lesson Before Dying is such a powerful book. It helps convey messages not explicitly said, and presents a very enlightening viewpoint from a dark time in the South.
I have spent time as a child on the island of Ventress, LA on the banks of the False River in Pointe Coupee Parish. Later, family moved to New Roads. I read all of which Ernest Gaines writes because his words brings back those childhood memories. His authentic use of language and family surnames makes me think that I know the individuals he writes about. One of my greatest memories that I will take to my grave is when I had the privilege to meet Professor Gaines and to take a photo with him.
Elmer Crumbley I first heard him read when I attended Tulane University.. I started seeking him out when I saw the movie The Autobiography of Ms Jane Pittman when I was a young teenager..
Rest Well Mr Gaines you will be missed.... I love this man. Read all his work. Had a chance to hear him read when I attended Tulane University
