Description

William Bradford Huie's first novel, Mud on the Stars, is largely autobiographical and is set in the years 1929-1942.

As in many of his later books, the theme here is of the education of the inexperienced youth, which is, after all, the quintessential American story.

Drawing on his own boyhood, Huie gives the reader a detailed account of rural life and race relations in the TennesseeValley in the early years of this century, including a vivid picture of college life at The University of Alabama during the Great Depression.

Through a careful weaving of characters and events, fact and fiction, Huie's novel captures the tumultuous times before World War II in the urban South, times of social unrest and testing of new political ideologies.

The book's publication in 1942 was a huge financial success, by the economic standards of the day, and not only brought Huie the acclaim his talent warranted but also focused an approving national spotlight on this prolific Alabama writer.
