WILLIS, RICHARD. Long Gone.
Greenpoint Press, New York: 2007. 0975976028 / 9780975976029 First Edition (Unstated). s Softcover. Brand new book.
Life in the 1930s and 1940s on the small family farms in eastern Iowa was threadbare and tough. It was made endurable by the web of humanity spun by the men and women who built their lives there. The land itself seemed indifferent to its relentless exploitation and yet people, towns, farms and landscape endured in some fashion. The best parts of the farm stayed with Richard Willis when he left, while the rest is long gone. "Long Gone is a perfect title for this remarkable memoir that strips away any fantasy of an idyllic life 'in the country' and shows the passions, backbreaking labor and violence of the hard won life lived on an American farm in the middle of the twentieth century." - Patty Dann, author of Mermaids; The Goldfish Went On Vacation; Sweet and Crazy.
