"Wright Morris seems to me the most important novelist of the American middle generation. Through a large body of work which, unaccountably, has yet to receive the wide attention it deservesMr. Morris has adhered to standards which we have come to identify as those of the most serious literary art. His novel The Field of Vision brilliantly climaxes his most richly creative period. It is a work of permanent significance and relevance to those who cannot be content with less than a full effort to cope with the symbolic possibilities of the human condition at the present time."John W. Aldridge
One of America's most distinguished authors, Wright Morris (1910-1998) wrote thirty-three books.
レビュー

Good delivery.
I disliked the book, however the book was ordered and arrived perfectly.

Field of Vision revisited
I read this book about 30 years ago and rated it highly then. I causes me less excitement now, but I still think he is a good writer.

Resonates with the ordinary moment; not about story - about human substance
Morris is a master with words, able to capture ordinary nuance and moments with the sort of "mind-thought" that parrots what goes on in the average brain well. What this book does lack, in my opinion, is a compelling story. That said, some books are about the story and some aren't (and some are awesomely about both! :). Knowing the story isn't really "it" with "Field of Vision" (the title hints at this, actually), you can enter your reading experience more for the insights and "ah-ha!" moments that will resonate with your own humanity.
