New York. 1974. Knopf. 1st Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0394492218. Illustrated by Herbert L. Fink. 323 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literature America . FROM THE PUBLISHER - An iconic collection that showcases Gardner as a master craftsman navigating an uncertain world In this exceptional book, author John Gardner explores the literary form as a vehicle of vision, and creates heroes that personify his tremendous artistic ideals: A Boston schoolmaster abandons his dreams of owning a farmhouse in rural Illinois only to be taken on a voyage across the seas and into self-discovery, faith, and love; an artist's rapturous enthusiasm inspires an aging university professor to approach life's chaotic moments as opportunities for creation. Each of these stories is wonderful in its own right, and provides valuable insight into the author's literary beliefs. inventory #27961 ISBN: 0394492218. ISBN 0394492218 9780394492216 [US]
