by Felice Swados ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 24, 1941
Story of violence, brutality, sexual antagonism and perversion in a girls' training school (alias reform school) for sex offenders. More forthright and simple in style than Faulkner or McCullers, but equally liberal in use of combustibles. (The author is the medical editor of Time.) Race riots, threatened lynching, rape, and so on. Ticklish material interestingly handled. A first novel for limited market.
