Gradić Peyton

Grace Metalious

Gradić Peyton je svojom neposrednošću kazivanja, razumljivošću i ležernošću, otkrivanjem istine osvojio običnog čitaoca i on mu je u cijelom svijetu odao zasluženo priznanje.

Unatoč društvene osude, otpora svih onih bezbrojnih liga za zaštitu morala, kršćanske čistoće i slično, kojima je Amerika krcata, te kritike koja je autoricu romana Gradić Peyton i Povratak u gradić Peyton i njena djela osudila zbog erotizma i "najgrubljeg naturalizma", ona su doživjela nezapamćen uspjeh kod široke publike i prodana su u desetine milijuna primjeraka u originalnoj nakladi, prevedena na dvadesetak jezika, po njima su snimljeni filmovi, a pojavila su se i u formi televizijskih serija.

"U našim malim gradovima", kaže spisateljica na jednom mjestu, "tri su pojave koje znaju uzbibati naoko mirnu površinu zbivanja: samoubistvo, Krođenje nezakonitog djeteta i korupcija moćnika". Iza toga se kriju oštre ljudske drame, porazi i padovi ljudskih sudbina u obliku incesta, bluda, gaženja ljudskog dostojanstva i mirenja sa postojećom stvarnošću.

Hipokrizija i lažni moral caruju, a Grace Metalious čvrsto i neustrašivo razgrće zastor iznad pozadine događaja koji potresaju život u malim mjestima.
