It’s a shame that our collective memory of Deliverance has been distilled into a single punch line.
You know, that hillbilly rape scene. A couple of rednecks sodomize this poor slob whose biggest mistake had been to climb into a canoe with Burt Reynolds. Next thing he knows, he’s being told to bend over and squeal like a pig.
I had seen the movie but never read the book. When I came across a used copy at the local bookstore, I felt obligated to give it a try, since I am reading everything about rivers these days.
It kept me up for two nights in a row.
Basically, the book (by James Dickey) follows an average guy who is bored with life; he needs some adventure, so he goes on a macho canoe trip with three friends. Bad stuff happens, and he’s put to the test — courage, endurance, will to survive, etc. If he succeeds he’ll be a real man, delivering himself from his modern malaise. Pretty similar to “Fight Club” in that way.
Deliverance was by far the best river book I have read. I recommended it to a friend, but he just laughed. Not even a good book can live down hillbilly rape and “Dueling Banjos.”
