The Field of Vision (Bison Book S). Wright Morris.

The Field of Vision (Bison Book S). Morris was an awesome photographer and his writing is keenly visual. The stories tender to wander, as the lives of the people in them wander, too, as our own lives wander.

The Works of Love (Bison Book S). Morris is a master with words, able to capture ordinary nuance and moments with the sort of "mind-thought" that parrots what goes on in the average brain well. What this book does lack, in my opinion, is a compelling story. That said, some books are about the story and some aren't (and some are awesomely about both! :). Knowing the story isn't really "it" with "Field of Vision" (the title hints at this, actually), you can enter your reading experience more for the insights and "ah-ha!" moments that will resonate with your own humanity.

Winner of the National Book Award "Wright Morris seems to me the most important novelist of the American middle generation. Morris has adhered to standards which we have come to identify as those of the most serious literary art. His novel The Field of Vision brilliantly climaxes his most richly creative period.

"When I was a boy of eight in the Platte Valley of Nebraska, my father made the first of the many moves that would prove to be of interest to a future writer of fiction. They were east to Chicago, the point on the map where all the lines pointed. Almost twenty years would pass before I would seek to recapture the past that I had experienced.

The Works of Loveis the first fruit of that effort, and the linchpin in my novels concerned with the plains. The reader who has read The Home Place or The Field of Vision will find in this novel the crux of an experience I frequently return to but never exhaust."—Wright Morris


Reviews about The Works of Love (Bison Book S) (2):
Budar
If what keeps you reading is plot, Wright Morris is not for you. If what keeps you going is a sense of longing and humor and an always surprising eye for detail in the most ordinary of lives, he might be. This is my favorite of his many novels about the people and place of the American Midwest in the first half or so of the 20th century. Morris was an awesome photographer and his writing is keenly visual. The stories tender to wander, as the lives of the people in them wander, too, as our own lives wander. There's a lot of loneliness in Morris, beautifully rendered, but always a twinkle of play as well, and a clear love for the people and the land. Morris is as much poet as storyteller, a master smith of phrase and thought. For example, this book begins with a line I'll never forget: "In the dry places, men begin to dream."Take Me With You When You Go

I was spooked when I read Alan's review. The line I remember is also "In the dry places men begin to dream" and I read this about thirty years ago! Here is this small book that hardly anyone will ever read but which is so fine and moving. How can it be that such fine art is gone forever. But then again - here is new edition and maybe some lucky few will read this book.
