JCO: Upon the Sweeping Flood

The first time I read Upon the Sweeping Flood, I could not understand
the ending. I now have a hard time reading about the crazed protagonist
beating the life out of the boy. Watching the horror on TV about such
things happening on such a massive scale in New Orleans made me think
again about this story. JCO's realistic portrayal of senseless tragedy
captured that sense of horror.
