Query: depressing

Now I know the feeling an ox gets after a long day at work. I was never allowed a chance to smile throughout this slogging, pitiful stench of Southern madness. Doing cop reports at a Myrtle Beach newspaper, the characters ring true, and I remember seeing a large block of ice in a tea-filled tank once at a BBQ in 1961. I loved the voice, the Southern pitch, but after the trudge, it was back to the low intellectual prison of Southern writing when the shouting was over. My wife cussed me out after she checked our account and saw I had wasted our electric bill money on this book.
