Deliverance (1972) Deliverance is a 1972 American survival thriller film produced and directed by John Boorman, and starring Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty, and Ronny Cox, with the latter two making their feature film debuts. The screenplay was adapted by James Dickey from his 1970 novel of the same name. The film was a critical and box office success, earning three Academy Award nominations and five Golden Globe Award nominations. Widely acclaimed as a landmark picture, the film is noted for a music scene near the beginning, with one of the city men playing "Dueling Banjos" on guitar with a banjo-picking country boy, and for its notorious, violent, brutal sodomy rape scene. In 2008, Deliverance was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." Race With The Devil (1973) Race with the Devil is a 1975 American action horror film directed by Jack Starrett, written by Wes Bishop and Lee Frost, and starring Peter Fonda, Warren Oates, Loretta Swit, and Lara Parker. This was the second of three films Fonda and Oates would star in together (The Hired Hand, 1971) was their first, and 92 in the Shade (1975) was their third). Race with the Devil is a hybrid of the horror, action, and car chase genres.

Perhaps best know for his novel “Deliverance,” James Dickey was also an accomplished and acclaimed poet and even won the National Book Award for “Buckdancer’s Choice.” “The Zodiac” was Dickey’s first published long poem, and is dedicated to Hendrix Marsman who was lost at sea during the Second World War in the North Atlantic. This poem is something of an ekphrastic poem in response to Marsman’s long piece also called “The Zodiac.” Boldly signed with that famous Dickey signature, in the slipcase. Fine/Fine, signed. . . . . #jamesdickey #deliverance #thezodiac #hendrikmarsman #nationalbookaward #rarebooks #firstedition #bookcollection #bookcollecting #bookcollection #bibliophile #bookporn #bookhunting #bookstagram #modernfirsts #modernfirsteditions #finebooks #signedbooks #shelfie #southernliterature #southernlit #tennessee #appalachianlit #appalachianliterature #kentucky #northcarolina #virginia #westvirginia #appalachianpoetry #southcarolina https://www.instagram.com/p/CeceRXTsMBf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Lifetime #bucketlist and @getlitsy #screamathon read, both. I fell in love with Will Patton as a narrator listening to the Mr. Mercedes trilogy by #StephenKing. His interesting, folksy voice is made for Americana literature—Dickey and Steinbeck and Twain and Faulkner. “The world is easily lost.” — Deliverance #horror #americanliterature #americanlit #audiobooks #audiobook #willpatton #deliverance #audible #jamesdickey #bucketlists #readingbucketlists #books #amreading #bookstagram #readersofinstagram #prettybookcovers #classicbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B3NOFOvgS3a/?igshid=10wcoypvkvcfw

‘The river and everything I remembered about it became a possession to me, a personal, private possession, as nothing else in my life ever had. Now it ran nowhere but in my head, but there it ran as though immortally. I could feel it -- I can feel it -- on different places on my body.... In me it still is, and will be until I die, green, rocky, deep, fast, slow, and beautiful beyond reality.’ —James Dickey, Deliverance . . • Y’all. This dust jacket is everything!

James Dickey

Happened while I was in the shower, thinking about writing, and my failure at writing, I think.

I was in some sort of office space or meeting place with the famed author and poet, and he was explaining to me the inspiration for one of the weirdo hillbillies in “Deliverance,” specifically one of the guys at the mechanic’s near the beginning of the book. One of Dickey’s friends was there, too, another good ol’ boy like himself, sitting in a leather chair. Sort of like the Burt Reynolds character in the book — strong, athletic, handsome. And the way Dickey was explaining the character, he seemed sort of condescending to me. Like, he knew more about rednecks than I did, and that somehow made him more of a man or writer. And I thought it was interesting to sort of own knowledge of that info, since aren’t those the bad guys in the novel? Or representations of lesser man? And so why did he feel some sort of ownership of that information, if he was an advanced man, a man of letters? And why would he assume that I knew less than him on this subject? But the way I brought it up was sort of like, “You must feel pretty connected to that guy.” And he was like, “Well of course I do. What kind of goddamned statement is that.” His friend was in agreement. Here I was again, on the outskirts of Man Knowledge. And I said something along the lines of, “Well, why would you feel so connected to this lesser person if you are who you are.” I still don’t know what I was trying to say by that point, not entirely. It was really just Dickey’s ego and his tone with me that had me worked up. I felt the anger and adrenaline positioning me. Dickey stood up and wagged his finger at me and said something dismissive and also aggressive. And I was just like, “You know what, Dickey? Why don’t you shut the fuck up, or I’m going to break your fucking nose. How about that?” His friend stood up and came at me, and I turned and punched him in the nose with my left. And then I went at Dickey and started flogging him with fists. I didn’t care. I didn’t care what would happen. I didn’t appreciate his tone.

Katherine and I have a had a wonder honeymoon in the Virgin Islands over the last couple weeks! Lots of reading and sunshine and beaches. Here was my reading stack and I’m kinda suprised that I finished all except the William Stafford book. Breece Pancake is always amazing, just as powerful as my first reading. It occurred to me that most of his works occur between two traumas, with the first leading to the second. I highly recommend him. This was my first reading of ‘Deliverance’ by James Dickey. I’m not sure I expected it to be a coming of age type book. The Robert Morgan book didn’t disappoint either, though I think ‘Land Diving’ or ‘Groundwork’ remain my favorites. I think Emma Bell Miles book ‘The Spirit of the Mountains’ was my favorite on this trip. Excellent writing and genuine descriptions of mountain people at the turn of the last century. It doesn’t rely on stereotypes so much as gives honest opinions. This work is something of a treasure. ‘Specter Mountain’ by Graves and Wright only gets better on subsequent readings. Then the seashell book and the climbing guide! We bouldered on Virgin Gorda for a week, but found almost no shells. . . . . . . . #jamesdickey #breecedjpancake #emmabellmiles #robertmorgan #jessegraves #williamwright #williamstafford #deliverance #thestoriesofbreecedjpancake #thespiritofthemountains #eventhequietplaces #spectermountain #darkenergy #rarebooks #firstedition #bookcollection #bookcollecting #bookcollection #bibliophile #bookporn #bookhunting #bookstagram #modernfirsts #modernfirsteditions #finebooks #signedbooks #shelfie #southernliterature #southernlit #tennessee #appalachianlit #appalachianliterature #kentucky #northcarolina #virginia #westvirginia #southcarolina https://www.instagram.com/p/BzWAF_Lp26s/?igshid=1o8s564047t5h
