On its initial publication in 1962, Eudora Welty said of "A Long
and Happy Life, " "Reynolds Price is the most impressive new writer
I've come across in a long time. His is a first-rate talent and we
are lucky that he has started so young to write so well. Here is a
fine novel."
From its dazzling opening page, which announced the appearance
of a stylist of the first rank, to its moving close, this brief
novel has charmed and captivated millions of readers since its
publication twenty-five years ago and its subsequent translation
into fifteen languages. On the triumphant publication of "Kate
Vaiden, " his most recent novel, in 1986, there was almost no
review that -- praising the new book to the skies -- didn't also
mention in glowing terms the reviewer's fond recollection of the
marvelous first novel, the troubled love story of Rosacoke Mustian
and Wesley Beavers and its beautifully evoked vision of rural North
Carolina. It is a pleasure now to restore to print the clothbound
edition of this truly enduring work as a companion volume to his
brilliant book of essays, "A Common Room, " published
simultaneously.
