A master American novelist. Vanity FairNed Ayres has never wanted anything but a newspaper career. His defining moment comes early, when Ned is city editor of his hometown paper. One of his beat reporters fields a tip: William Grant, the town haberdasher, married to the bank presidents daughter and the father of two children, once served six years in Joliet. The story runsNed offers no resistance to his publishers argument that the public has a right to know. The consequences, swift and shocking, haunt him throughout a long career until eventually, as the editor of a major newspaper in postKennedyera Washington, DC, Ned has reason to return to the question of privacy and its many violationsthe gorgeously limned themes running through Ward Justs elegiac and masterly new novel.A doggedly restrained character study that advances its themes obliquely through atmosphere and tone. Often, the effect is quietly, even elegiacally beautiful, evoking the rhythms of Ernest Hemingways early fiction . . . A quietly affecting, mournful achievement. Richmond TimesDispatchIn Justs hands, the ambiguous motives behind the papers pursuit of the story are riveting . . . The novel stands on Justs memorable study of Ned. Your heart goes out to this kindly, complex man whos not truly interested in the things of his own life, preferring the lives of others. Seattle Times
