Detailed item info

Synopsis
A collection of Peter Matthiessen's stories that were previously published in the Atlantic Monthly, New World Writing, Harper's, Antaeus, Saturday Evening Post, and Esquire. They include the 1959 story, "Horse Latitudes," which provided the basis for his novel AT PLAY IN THE FIELDS OF THE LORD.
Industry reviews
"Overall, and especially considering that the ten stories have been written over nearly 40 years, the unity of tone, style and concerns is extraordinary....[Two stories tell of] events which teach something about affection and compassion....These help to shift the balance of the book from being beautiful and desperate to being beautiful and painful and not without hope--and in any case superbly written." Times Literary Supplement - Stephen Medcalf (09/22/1989) "[T]his book of departures and ambiguous returns fascinatingly suggests some of the history of a splendid writer's imagination." New York Times Book Review - Thomas R. Edwards (05/14/1989) "There is wide thematic and textual range to these stories....The title story alone is worth the price of the book." America - Andre Dubus (11/25/1989)
