註釋A pit bull named Alligator epitomizes the rage that Jack Purse feels toward his father, whom he blames for the loss of the family farm, for his mother's abandoning him as a child, and, in a roundabout way, for his wounds in Vietnam. Yet the two men have a common goal. Each schemes to redeem the land Jack considers his heritage; Jack through a marijuana crop; Dexter by pitting Alligator in a fight to the death. Jack's competitive spirit grows, yet a nagging desire to please his father draws him into preparations for the fight; and when Fate intervenes Jack proves himself to be his father's son in an ending that barely escapes sentimentality. A thought-provoking tale of father-son relationships in the deep South. --Thomas L. Kilpatrick, Library Journal.
