Though Already A Widely Acclaimed Novelist, The Author Of Such Modern Classics As The Orchard Keeper And Child Of God, Mccarthy Had Never Before Written A Screenplay. Using Nothing More Than A Few Photographs In The Footnotes To A 1928 Biography Of A Famous Precivil War Industrialist As Inspiration, The Author And Pearce Together Roamed The Mill Towns Of The South Researching Their Subject. One Year Later Mccarthy Finished The Gardener'S Son,A Taut, Riveting Drama Of Impotence, Rage, And Ultimately Violence Spanning Two Generations Of Mill Owners And Workers, Fathers And Sons, During The Rise And Fall Of One Of America'S Most Bizarre Utopian Industrial Experiments.
