Thought-provoking on the animal side of mankind

 

One thought on “[Novel] Deliverance (James Dickey)

  1. Hmm. I just read this two months ago. Critics for both the novel and the movie claimed this was representative of the 60s and 70s, when man was utterly fascinated about his still-existing feral side.
