    • Abstract:
      The article reports on the 40th anniversary of James Dickey's bestselling novel "Deliverance." It states that Lewis, the brooding moral center of the novel, is described as perfect or at least perfectible. It mentions that Dickey wrote the book in the late 1960s, when he has more than a bit of Lewis in him. It mentions that since the message of the book is true up to this day, the novel has not aged a day.
