This tour-de-force of American books and a winner of the Country wide Book Prize is a profound, intimate, affecting book from one of the most esteemed literary heads of the previous century and a beloved chronicler of the Western world.
Joe Allston is a cantankerous, retired literary agent who is, in his own words, "just eradicating time until time gets around to eradicating me." His parents and his only son are long useless, leaving him with neither ancestors nor descendants, custom nor ties. His job, trafficking the skill of others, is not his choice. He has handed through life as a spectator, before retreating to the woods of California in the 1970s with only his wife, Ruth, by his area. When an urgent postcard from a long-lost friend arrives, Allston earnings to the publications of a vacation he has used years before, a journey to his mother's labor and birthplace where he once desired a link along with his former. Uncovering this history floods Allston with memory, both grotesque and poignant, and finally vindicates him of his former and lays bare that Joe Allston has never been quite spectator enough.
