This is true at least at the level of plot structure, because there is a child who is naïve, but also morally competent and excited about life, and this story drags that little sweet child through the mud, like a child being left alone in a real swamp. One might say the value of Swamplandia! is that the novel attempts to reconcile innocence and experience. We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.
