They cease sawing and the Negro testifies. “ Yessa, he said. It most sholy has. Growd all up in that tree.”. Like nothing else in Tennessee. —“Anecdote of a Jar,” Wallace Stevens.
4. Jan. 2019 · The Orchard Keeper. McCarthy’s first novel, The Orchard Keeper, introduces the outcasts as members of the disappearing mountain culture of East Tennessee. Young Marion Sylder lives by bootlegging, and in self-defense he kills a man and disposes of the body in an abandoned peach orchard that symbolizes the dying culture.
