The Light at Late Morning: an American Experience Herbert A. Walker

The Light At Late Morning is an epic, sprawling evocation of a buried time, rife with authenticity and intense vitality. The variety, color, and energy of ordinary people - in the dimension of their lives expressed in dialogue and description - are made extraordinary, even mythical, in their incandescence. There are elements of adventure as well as of nostalgia, and on some levels the book is an eccentric view of a region, often from a humorous perspective; and amid the intimate detail there are diversions of portraiture and of poetry.
