Pruitt Lee, Warden

Fast paced and economic on prose, no excesses at all. Extremely enjoyable style, though considered by some unworthy of its classic status.

When he finished packing, he walked out on to the third-floor porch of the barracks brushing the dust from his hands, a very neat and deceptively slim young man in the summer khakis that were still early morning fresh.
