Produktinformationen zu „Who Dwelt by a Churchyard (ePub)“
Who Dwelt by a Churchyard centers around an old man about to move, who-as he sits before a fireplace throwing ancient photographs upon the flames-recalls the major events in his life. It is a stunning, moving work, written with great economy, and yet so richly textured that it gives one a feeling of having digested a work of fiction twice its length: an end of life novel that is clearly up to Fleming's own highest standards.
Autoren-Porträt von Berry Fleming
Berry Fleming was an American novelist. He is best known for his 1943 novel Colonel Effingham's Raid. He was born in 1899 and died in 1989. Permanent Press reissued several novels in the 80s. He received a resurgence in popularity with the publication of his last novel, Captain Bennett's Folly, in 1989 just months before his death. The work was favorably reviewed in The New York Times, among other publications, and since then many of his earlier neglected novels have been republished with more successful sales than during his lifetime.

Pressezitat
“A beautiful and totally original new novel that comes as close to describing immortality as anything I’ve ever read. Like some newly discovered element of physics, memory, in Berry Fleming’s novel, has an independent existence, lyric, solitary and grand. A novel of rare power.” —Rod MacLeish, National Public Radio’s “Morning Edition”
