Synopsis
In this coming-of-age novel, Walter Marshall can't decide between becoming a newsman like his idol, Edward R. Murrow, or running for president like his other idol, JFK. He's equally divided in his love life, attracted both to the kind and practical Alice to whom he's engaged, and the mysterious German Natalie.

Publisher's Note
The critics have been effusive in their praise for Richard Bausch's Good Evening Mr. and Mrs. America and All the Ships at Sea. His hardover sales have also never been higher. Taking its title from Walter Winchell's famous radio salutation, Good Evening Mr. and Mrs. America opens in Washington, DC, in 1964, just after the Kennedy assassination, telling the story of Walter Marshall, an idealistic 19-year-old who lives with his widowed mother and studies to be a journalist like his hero, Edward R. Murrow. In this coming-of-age novel in the truest sense of the phrase, young Marshall fumbles toward manhood in a nation that is itself in the midst of cataclysmic change. With the same elegance and precision that has distinguished his other novels, Richard Bausch has evoked a sense of time and place in a different America and brings the last 30 years of history profoundly and vividly to life.

Industry reviews
"[A] funny and delicate novel, in which the great events of public life blend inextricably with an intense drama of ordinary things....Mr. Bausch wonderfully captures (the sixties), not only by knowing the songs that were popular and what the political phrases were, but also by finely evoking what now seems a kind of innocence and wholesomeness striving to adapt to the new....Mr. Bausch spins [his] intricate and delicious story with a wondrously tender touch. There is an intermingling of the comic and the dangerous in the qualities and foibles of his characters....Mr. Bausch makes us wish that somehow things will be better for young Walter Marshall than we, looking back, have any reason to expect." New York Times - Richard Bernstein (09/25/1996) "In outlining the predicament of this earnest young fellow, Mr. Bausch works in far broader strokes than we expect from the author of such subtly drawn books as 'Violence' and 'Rebel Powers,' and the results are mixed. The action of the novel can be disconcertingly cartoonish....And the structure of the book is just a little too relaxed....The author is on steadier footing, however, when he tones down the humor and focuses on the moral education of his main character...." New York Times Book Review - Gary Krist (10/27/1996) "[A] blast of pure negation disguised as FORREST GUMP....This provocative book, unfortunately, is more fun to talk about than it is to read." Ellenberg
