Plot Summary of Deliverance
"Four men take a canoeing trip through Georgia. Two are attacked by locals; one of the protagonists is raped and the other is spared when their friends kill the first of the locals. The rest of the story concerns their escape from the back country and their struggle to avoid being killed by the other local. The sex is graphic but not erotic; the violence and struggle against nature is also graphic but not gratuitous."
Janine Peterson, Resident Scholar
