Synopsis
In James Dickey's harrowing 1970 novel, DELIVERANCE, four men set out on a canoe trip in the north Georgia wilderness. Only three make it back--and those three are changed forever. The story begins as a lighthearted adventure about city boys eager to test themselves against the elements, but it soon spirals down into a tense, nail-biting saga of degradation and murder when the four confront a pair of psychopaths in the woods and, after a series of horrifying events, become the hunted prey of a man bent on vengeance. Brilliantly, even lyrically written by a prize-winning poet, DELIVERANCE is both a classic action tale and an allegory about the way "civilization" can break down when naked survival is at stake. The novel was made into a highly acclaimed film in 1972 by John Boorman, starring Jon Voight and Burt Reynolds, with a screenplay by Dickey.

Industry Reviews
"Stomach-churning thrills... a mind-shattering nightmare in the wilderness, surging ahead on sheer power... There are few writers like James Dickey and few novels as successful... as terifying and as good as 'Deliverance'."
Dirda

"A novel that will curl your toes...Dickey's canoe rides to the limits of dramatic tension."
Dirda
