Evan S. Connell (1924-2013) emerged from the American Midwest
determined to become a writer. He eventually made his mark with
attention-getting fiction and deep explorations into history. His
linked novels Mrs. Bridge (1959) and Mr. Bridge (1969) paint a
devastating portrait of the lives of a prosperous suburban family
not unlike his own that, more than a half century later, continue
to haunt readers with their minimalist elegance and muted satire.
As an essayist and historian, Connell produced a wide range of
work, including a sumptuous body of travel writing, a bestselling
epic account of Custer at the Little Bighorn, and a singular series
of meditations on history and the human tragedy. This first
portrait and appraisal of an under-recognized American writer is
based on personal accounts by friends, relatives, writers, and
others who knew him; extensive correspondence in library archives;
and insightful literary and cultural analysis of Connell's work and
its context. It also illuminates aspects of American publishing,
Hollywood, male anxieties, and the power of place.
