Flood by Robert Penn Warren
This novel delves into the life of Bradwell Tolliver, a man who returns to his hometown in Tennessee, now submerged underwater due to the construction of a dam. As he navigates the remnants of his past and the memories of the people and places he once knew, Tolliver confronts his own history and the complex web of relationships that defined his earlier life. Set against the backdrop of a transformed landscape, the narrative explores themes of memory, loss, and the inexorable march of progress. Through evocative prose and rich character development, the story examines the impact of change on individuals and communities, and the enduring power of the past to shape our present and future.
