Book review - "Wake in Fright" by Kenneth Cook

 The film is super faithful to this. You can "see" a film reading it with its evocative language. Just as empathetic, even more so - here Grant specifically acknoweldges that everything was his decision and that the townspeople are sad rather than bad. The rape sequence is subtle - Grant remembers something bad happened but not exactly what; he doesn't have a farewell scene with Doc.

An excellent book.
