CRANBERRY RED

by E. Garside ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 7, 1938

The story of a year spent in the cranberry bogs and cannery of a Cape Cod village, when Keith Bain, an educated man, drifts from job to job, and eventually finds work in a cannery run by a shrewd, ruthless Yankee. Against this setting, the grind and stench of the cannery, the shiftless, violent Portuguese workers, is set the romance of Keith and Anne. Garside has a distinctive style, a terse, expressive idiom, raw and uncompromising. There is an undercurrent of commentary on social ills, and though the story leaves a sense of irresolution, the book emerges as a first novel with unusual qualifications.
