American Writers at Home
by McClatchy, J. D.
Photographs by Erica Lennard |
| |
| Faulkner traced the complex plots of his novels on his walls; Hawthorne's windowpanes served as a constantly present commonplace book. Melville imagined his study was the Pequod, while Welty and Jewett wrote primarily in their bedrooms. Through 21 intimate portraits of writers ranging from the early 19th to the mid-20th century, accompanied by superbly evocative photographs, McClatchy and Lennard reveal where and how some of America's most brilliant writers lived and worked. As McClatchy writes in his Introduction, "This is not a book about writers, or about houses, or about America. It is a book about where and why and how American writers made a home for themselves -- a place to live, yes, but above all a place to work -- in a restless, rugged country." | | |
