So Long, See You Tomorrow

[In this book, the author] explores the enigmatic gravity of the past, which compels us to keep explaining it even as it makes liars out of us every time we try. On a winter morning in the 1920s, a shot rings out on a farm in rural Illinois. A man named Lloyd Wilson has been killed. And the tenuous friendship between two lonely teenagers - one privileged yet neglected, the other a troubled farm boy - has been shattered. Fifty years later, one of those boys - now a grown man - tries to reconstruct the events that led up to the murder. In doing so, he is inevitably drawn back to his lost friend Cletus, who had the misfortune of being the son of Wilson's killer and who in the months before witnessed things that Maxwell's narrator can only guess at. Out of memory and imagination, the surmises of children and the destructive passions of their parents, [the author] creates a [story] of youth and loss.-Back cover.

Here is a classic novel from one of our most honored writers--the author of such acclaimed works as So Long, See You Tomorrow and All the Days and Nights." The Folded Leaf is the serenely observed yet deeply moving story of two boys finding one another in the Midwest of the 1920s, when childhood lasted longer than it does today and even adults were more innocent of what life could bring.

Excerpt from Salesmanship If one average man, fifty years old, could and would tell the truth about himself, we should have a priceless textbook on life. The other day I sat beside a man in the library car of a twenty-hour New York to Chicago railway train. Faintly, like the outline of year-old furrows in a fallow field, there lay upon his face the traces of a fast-lived youth. Discretion had checked and right living in part repaid youth's borrowings from old age. He had funded and underwritten the debt of his youth. He held the shares himself and was paying to himself a yearly dividend upon a capitalized deficit of wasted brain and body.

Excerpt from Velazqvez: And His Works The following pages were designed to contain the life of Velazquez, as narrated in the Annals of the Artists of Spain (8vo. London, 1848), with such additions as its re-publication in a separate form seemed to require, and as later travel and reading have enabled me to supply. In the execution of this design, however, the work has been nearly re-written. I hope that it may not have been increased in bulk without being also somewhat improved in quality.
