McLendon|Lendon House in "Dry September" (Location)

At the end of "Dry September," McLendon drives up to "his neat new house, which is as "trim and fresh as a birdcage and almost as small, with its clean, green-and-white paint" (182). At the back is a "screen porch," where he presses his body "against the dusty screen" (183) - but most readers of the scene would say it is his wife who is the 'caged bird' in the family.
