Abstract

This paper aims at discussing the concept of realism in Grisham’s novel, Gray Mountain.
Grisham’s works are based on his profession, as an attorney. He is an interesting author, a
politician and an activist. As a social activist as well as a politician, he has great concern
for social justice. This paper explores the author’s ideas about injustice reflected in the
Gray Mountain. The impacts of the coal mining industry on the social, political and
economic condition of the people in this region are also explored in this paper. The study
shows that the events depicted in Gray Mountain were based on the reality of the
occurrences in Appalachian society. The novel can be considered as a reflection or
criticism of this community.
