Soon F.X. begins to disturb Picken?s placid middle-class existence, as he rapidly forces himself into his life, taking over his home and ingratiating himself with his friends. Acutely comic and psychologically penetrating, Modern Baptists is a brilliantly satirical depiction of one man?s struggle to maintain respectability against the odds in America?s Deep South.* This is a FINE copy of the 1st./1st.with no visible faults.* Crace, Jim
