About This Book

A man recently returned from wartime aerial service struggles to reestablish civilian life in New York while resisting intrusive memories of combat and debating literary ambitions. He vacillates between writing a pastoral biography of a neglected woman writer and saving his war recollections for a later audience, all the while sensing the absent presence of a missing companion. The narrative shifts among wry urban observation, interior monologue, and social encounters that reveal creative uncertainty, public amnesia about the war, and a longing for ordinary domestic calm. The work examines readjustment, identity, and the uneasy passage from upheaval to everyday routine.
