Cane, on the other hand, should be read without even referring to the footnotes, which just interrupt the flow. The first part of the book reminds me a bit of Look Homeward Angel in its poetic prose and inclusion of poetry, although certainly the overall narrative style and subject matter couldn't be more different. The second part, set in DC and Chicago, is less poetic and more grounded in real life--except that the characters share some of the same issues as the characters in Georgia from the first part. The last part is a single story, with the dialogue in play format, but with long descriptions that make it basically just a novelette or novella. It is the strangest story of all, with some effective passages, and an ending that sort of defies explanation. I would say the book sort of goes downhill from beginning to end, with some of the great promise of the opening pages dissipating--but it is still an essential read and unlike anything you'll encounter anywhere else.
