Howard Frank Mosher and the Classics
Author: James Robert Saunders
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476616337
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Howard Frank Mosher has spent the greater part of his career depicting a relatively isolated section of Vermont known as the Northeast Kingdom. Yet, even as he writes about that particular area in the Green Mountain State, he is investigating age-old themes from among the best English and American literary works. His first novel, Disappearances (1977), signaled the arrival of a master craftsman harkening us back to Melville's Billy Budd and Moby-Dick, in terms of humankind's struggle against an ever present evil. A full 33 years after the publication of his first novel, the Vermont author, in Walking to Gatlinburg (2010), examined the polarity between cowardice and honor. In the intervening years, between Disappearances and Gatlinburg, Mosher explored crucial matters such as the disappearing wilderness, industrialization, black male/white female encounters, the necessity of humor, the quest for salvation, and the immortality of romantic love, all issues that he delved into as he staked out a unique terrain within the pantheon of Bunyan, Shakespeare, Dreiser, Twain, Faulkner, Steinbeck, Harper Lee, and others.

Book Description
New England Book Award Winner: A father and son smuggle liquor across the border in Depression-era Vermont in this “remarkable and wonderful” novel (The Christian Science Monitor). This endearing novel is both a heroic adventure and a thrilling coming-of-age story. It is the memorable tale of a young man named Wild Bill Bonhomme, his larger-than-life father, Quebec Bill, and their whiskey-smuggling exploits along the Vermont-Canada border in 1932. On an epic journey through the wilderness, Bill and his father encounter a cast of wild characters—and live out magical escapades as they carve their way into legend. “Revives the tall tale with remarkable grace and intelligence…delightful.”—The Washington Post “Disappearances at its best is reminiscent of manic Faulkner, wild and violent and violently funny.”—The Boston Herald “Rollicking, boisterous, sprawling, [and] highly entertaining.”—Harper’s Magazine
