My Life and Adventures Summary:
|
It's the late 1960s, when troubled ex-professor Mark Noon claims an odd bequest: he moves to a dilapidated house in rustic Bible Hill, Vermont. Noon recounts how he gets to know and comes to love the township, its natural history, its lore, its ingrown and haunted denizens -- and one woman in particular, who shares his life for a time. Noon's story is interwoven with entries from the diary of Claude Littlejohn, the house's previous owner, along with the mysterious backstory of Noon's misadventures in a Latin American country, which led to his self-imposed exile from the world. Readers of Thoreau, Emerson, Hawthorne, Poe, and Washington Irving will find a feast in this novel, which balances the God-haunted, transcendent New England of the 19th century against the dope and llama farms, survivalists, and leaf-peepers of our day. |
