Book Overview

Nicholas Delbanco--who, John Updike says, "wrestles with the abundance of his gifts as a novelist the way other men wrestle with their deficiencies"--ventures forth to discover and illuminate various writers and places. In this follow-up to his acclaimed The Lost Suitcase, Delbanco weaves varied reflections to reveal a singular understanding of the relationships among literature, the past, and the world around us.
