...sentimental literary properties but as if they had a dignified, unobstreperous standing in human existence. With a constant and expert attentiveness to exactitudes of speech, gesture, action, he writes of violence (a negress cutting a white man's throat), horror (a father incapable of restraining his vomit over the 19-day corpse of his son), brutality (a man's foot pinning a fighting woman to the earth by her pregnant belly), without any slackening into the merely melodramatic.
