When Warren Howe, middle-aged TV script writer, receives an
invitation to the funeral of Monsieur Dulac, he attempts to round
up all the people who were guests with him three decades ago in
Riva. Dulac's castle in the Austrian Alps. Neither Uncle Fremont,
who 'invented the dust bowl' nor an old college friend cares to
re-experience the good old days. But Sol Spiegel, a junk collector
who salvages the past, is eager to return. To escape a world firmly
anchored in space and bound to clock time, to re-experience the
unbelievable, they go back to Riva--an imaginative creation fixed
in neither time nor space, but like its master, both in and out of
the world.--Saturday Review of Literature. Wright Morris has an
uncommon facility for constantly shifting from past to present
without confusion or annoyance to the reader. In Cause for Wonder
the time shifts are faster than in The Field of Vision--and all to
good purpose. They make of this novel a ghost story that needs no
bed sheets and white-paint props, though a few are
used.--Newsweek.One of the most distinguished American authors,
Wright Morris (1910-1988) wrote thirty-three books including The
Field of Vision, which won the National Book Award.
