Opis

The Fugitive Self is a tribute to a distinguished career spanning fifty years in American letters. At once meditative, whimsical, and hard-hitting, it illuminates the spiritual cost of American expansion. Nothing we'd been counting onall the time we'd waitedwas waiting when we arrived. Only more waiting-- John Wheatcroft is the author of twenty books in three genres, a WWII combat veteran, and professor emeritus at Bucknell University. He has a well-known following--Peter Balakian, Bruce Smith, Tom Gardner, Betsy Sholl--who believes his work is seminal to understanding violence now and in the second half of the twentieth century.
