In his eighty-seven years, Norman Maclean played many parts:
fisherman, logger, firefighter, scholar, teacher. But it was a role
he took up late in life, that of writer, that won him enduring fame
and critical acclaim - as well as the devotion of readers
worldwide. Though the 1976 collection "A River Runs Through It and
Other Stories" was the only book Maclean published in his lifetime,
it was an unexpected success, and the moving family tragedy of the
title novella - based largely on Maclean's memories of his
childhood home in Montana - has proved to be one of the most
enduring American stories ever written. "The Norman Maclean Reader"
is a wonderful addition to Maclean's celebrated oeuvre. Bringing
together previously unpublished materials with incidental writings
and selections from his more famous works, the Reader will serve as
the perfect introduction for readers new to Maclean, while offering
longtime fans new insight into his life and career. In this
evocative collection, Maclean as both a writer and a man becomes
evident. Perceptive, intimate essays deal with his career as a
teacher and a literary scholar, as well as the wealth of family
stories for which Maclean is famous. Complete with a generous
selection of letters, as well as excerpts from a 1986 interview,
"The Norman Maclean Reader" provides a fully fleshed-out portrait
of this much admired author, showing us a writer fully aware of the
nuances of his craft, and a man as at home in the academic
environment of the University of Chicago as in the quiet mountains
of his beloved Montana. Multifarious and moving, the works
collected in "The Norman Maclean Reader" serve as both a summation
and a celebration, giving readers a chance once again to hear one
of American literature's most distinctive voices.
