Description

Within this evocative book, William Maxwell examines the gravity of yesteryear, which compels us to keep describing it even while it makes liars out-of us each time we attempt. On a winter day in the 1920s, a go rings out on a village in rural Illinois. A guy called Lloyd Wilson hasbeen murdered. And the friendship between two unhappy teenagers—one fortunate however overlooked, another a struggling plantation boy—has been shattered.Fifty decades later, some of those boys—now a developed man—tries to reconstruct the events that led as much as the homicide.
