Sobre este artículo
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Doubleday, 1979. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. A fine copy in a very good unclipped dust jacket. This copy is signed by the author--signature only--on the title page. A superb clean and tight copy with no evidence of previous ownership. The dustjacket is complete and unclipped with shallow edgewear to the head and heel of the spine and at the edges of the flap folds. Some moderate shelfwear rubbing--but still a bright dustjacket now protected in a new acrylic dustjacket protector. Stegner was a fascinating author, teacher and instructor who taught at Stanford and taught, among his students, Larry McMurtry, Ken Kesey, William Styron. Many authors were influenced by Stegner.
Sinopsis
The moving sequel to the bestselling Big Rock Candy Mountain . Bruce Mason returns to Salt Lake City not for his aunt's funeral, but to encounter after forty-five years the place he fled in bitterness. A successful statesman and diplomat, Mason had buried his awkward and lonely childhood, sealed himself off from the thrills and torments of adolescence to become a figure who commanded international respect. But the realities of the present recede in the face of the ghosts of his past. As he makes the perfunctory arrangements for the funeral, we enter with him on an intensely personal and painful inner pilgrimage: we meet the father who darkened his childhood, the mother whose support was both redeeming and embarrassing, the friend who drew him into the respectable world of which he so craved to be a part, and the woman he nearly married. In this profoundly moving book Stegner has drawn an intimate portrait of a man understanding how his life has been shaped by experiences seemingly remote and inconsequential.
