The first fullscale biography of a major Western writer.Walter Van Tilburg Clark was one of the Wests most important literary figures, a writer who contributed mightily to the tradition of viewing the West realistically and not through the veil of myth and romance. As a comparatively young man, he published three compelling novels and a collection of short stories, then remained almost silent for the rest of his life, the victim of a paralyzing case of writers block. Now Jackson J. Benson, one of the countrys foremost literary biographers, has produced the first fulllength biography of this brilliant, enigmatic, and ultimately tragic figure.Based on widely scattered sourcespersonal papers and correspondence; interviews with family members, friends, and others; and Clarks unpublished stories and poemsBensons biography focuses on Clarks intellectual and literary life as a writer, teacher, and westerner. Benson masterfully balances his engaging account of the experiences, people, and settings of Clarks life with a penetrating examination of his complex psyche and the crippling perfectionism that virtually ended Clarks career, as well as offering up a thoughtful assessment of Clarks place in Western writing. In these pages, Clark lives again, a warm, complex, and ultimately anguished human being. Bensons remarkably astute and sensitive biography is destined to be the book that readers and researchers consult first for information about this major western writer.
