This classic comingofage novel, winner of the Lippincott Fiction Prize for Young Novelists in 1954, is a deliberately comic portrayal of 'Mobile madness,' a malady specific to the Gulf Coast but recognizableby allEugene Walters first novel, and winner of the 1954 Lippincott Fiction Prize for Young Novelists, is about a young man from a small central Alabama town who goes south of the salt line to Mobile to work in a bank and study law. As soon as this unnamed pilgrim arrives, he realizes thatalthough he is still in Alabamahe has entered a separate physical kingdom of banana trees and palm fronds, subtropical heat and humidity, and old houses and lacy wroughtiron balconies. In Mobile, Alabama, the town that can claim the oldest Mardi Gras in America, there is no Puritan work ethic; the only ruling forces are those of chaos, craziness, and caprice. Such forces overtake the pilgrim, seduce him away from the beaten career path, and set him on a zigzag course through life.The Untidy Pilgrim celebrates the insularity as well as the eccentricity of southernersand Mobilians, in particularin the midtwentieth century. Cut off from the national mainstream, they are portrayed as devoid of that particularly American angst over what to do and accomplish with ones life, and indulge instead in art, music, cooking, nature, and love. In this novel Walter eschews the gloom and doom southern literary tradition established by Faulkner, Capote, and McCullers to illuminate the joyous quirkiness of human existence.This reissue of the paperback assures yet another generation the delight of Eugene Walters awardwinning romp through Mobile.
