What is the book The Reivers about?
The Reivers is a beautiful novel, cataloging four days in the life of a young, impressionable boy, through whose journey readers experience both the positive and the negative aspects of simply being alive. Lucius Priest is an eleven-year-old boy living in virtually rural Jefferson, Mississippi in 1905.
Who is Otis in the Reivers?
Otis is not the man. He's just a scrappy-headed ten-year-old kid. In fact, he's like a version of what Butch was probably like as a kid. For Lucius, he's just another example of the kinds of bad people who exist outside of Jefferson, Mississippi.
