A long-lost literary classic...hailed by the Raleigh News & Observer as "a powerful, arresting, unforgettable book"... back in print for the first time in 70 years.Cora Potts was born "poor white trash" in a small town in the deep south. But she uses her beauty, cunning, ambition and pure ruthlessness to escape her destiny, to survive against adversity, and rise from poverty to wealth, in a uniquely American success story that's shocking in its raw, naked intensity."Full of hearty gusto and makes capital reading. The humor never fails. A gorgeous panorama of the New South." H.L. Mencken, The American Mercury"Cora Potts startled the reading public and completely fascinated Henry L. Mencken, who thought Cora one of the greatest characters in Ameican fiction." Damon Runyon"The story of a hard-boiled heroine for whom the wages of sin was success. The book immediately attracted attention for its daring theme, that selfishness rather virtue wins worldly rewards. This is a savage and intelligent novel." The Spokesman Review "One of the most amusing and quaintly original novels the South has yet contributed to American letters," New York Times"Greene's book is surprisingly obscure today, but its general message that in a corrupt society vice is virtue resonates more than ever. His genius was also in having a female character behave in a way typically ascribed to successful men, and having her go unpunished for breaking both the rule of law and of gender." Pulp International"A novel marked by sardonic strength and ferocious characterization which leaves an indelible impression on the reader. A story that marches with unhalting speed and irresistible impact. Greene drives steadily ahead with a sharp vigor. Cora Potts is an extraordinary figure. A powerful, arresting, unforgettable book." Raleigh News and Observer"Original in theme and execution, it is colorful and picturesque. There is no sentimental humbug in the treatment of Cora. To be sure, there is no moral. Greene has an uncanny gift for letting his characters speak for themselves." Palm Beach Post"Here is a success story more faithful to life that the average biography of an industrial leader and as purely American as the history of Sam Houston or Daniel Boone.'" The Saturday Review of Literature"She rises in the world, not as a sorry example of vice rewarded, but of an excellent brain, overwhelming ambition, and a steadfast purpose attaining their end. Cora wants things and she gets them. Greene writes simply, using fresh material, fresh scenes, and an excellent sense of drama." Philadelphia Inquirer"Decidedly well-written, a masterful handling of a subject that would not be discussed in polite society. But it shouldn't be left on the table when children are home from school." Indianapolis Star

A long-lost literary masterpiece that Damon Runyon called "a story of a curious American scene, packed around a drama with an astonishing climax. Read it if you want a thrill."This is the raw story of a lonely New Jersey highway in the 1940s and the people who travel it: the New Yorkers escaping to their country homes, the hard-scrabble shopkeepers, farmers and their families who live in the small, drive-by communities along the asphalt, and finally the wanderers who live on wheels, eat and drink at roadhouses, and sleep where-ever they stop when night falls...and with anyone willing, warm and desperate enough to share their beds."We can't reconcile the intimate knowledge he displays with any idea that it may be based on hearsay. Greene writes as an eyewitness...a natural instinct for absorbing the testimony of others. The language is real. He makes people talk like people." Damon Runyon"Greene's use of plot is ingenious, and he has created memorable men and women. They seem so real that one cares tremendously what happens to them. The story has punch, and moves along at a rapid pace." Buffalo News"Greene has a talent for writing excitingly of everyday people. His dialog is especially good, it is humorous and philosophical and expresses the personalities of the characters with a naturalness that is seldom encounered in books."Fort Worth Star Telegram"For years, Ward Greene has been doing amazing things with words. He has depicted the heights and depths of human emotion with uncanny skill." Tucson Citizen
