God's Little Acre description

Ty Ty Walden is a Georgia farmer who suffers a severe case of gold fever. "If you had the fever," he tells Pluto Swint,"you wouldn't have time for nothing else...It gets a man just like liquor does, or chasing women. When you get a taste for it, you ain't going to sit still you het it some more. It just keeps up like that, adding up all the time." As testament to his affliction, the landscape of his farm has become a litter of excavations, holes drug in search of elusive gold, then abandoned in favor of Ty Ty's next best hope of strike.

On the few remaining acres, his sharecroppers struggle and starve, eking out an existence in the shadow of Ty Ty's neglect. And shunted from corner to corner of the land as the digging progresses is God's Little Acre-the plot whose profits Ty Ty has promised to the church. In service to his obsession, Ty Ty and his family set off a sequence of events that proceed through sexual entanglements and betrayal and culminate in a murder. "

There was a mean trick played on us somewhere," Ty Ty laments. "God put is in the bodies of animals and tried to make us act like people. That was the beginning of trouble."

Passionate, raw and often shocking in its own time, God's Little Acre has sold millions of copies since its publication 1933 and has come to be seen as an American classic.
