Column "Cotten Pickin's"
Dublin Core
Title
Column "Cotten Pickin's"
Description
The article is a book review about a piece written by John Steinback called "Grapes of Wrath". Towards the end of the article Cotten mentions a new book he read called "Native Son". He did not mention the author and referred to him as "Negro". He described the book as a powerful drama but could use censoring in some areas.
