So Long, See You Tomorrow

On an Illinois farm in the 1920s, a man is murdered, and in the same moment the tenous friendship between two lonely boys comes to an end. In telling their interconnected stories, American Book Award-winner William delivers a masterfully restrained and magically evocative meditation on the past.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A small, perfect novel." ( Washington Post Book World)

Sublime

I was initially resistant to William Maxwell reading his own book. It seemed narcissistic to me. Then 40 minutes in, I was so hooked. This is a gorgeous telling of an intimate story. I love this book and his narrating broke my heart wide open. Get.

Beautifully remembered

Loved the astonishing detail of turn of century farm life Maxwell had to imagine. His narration, that of an old man remembering his past, was perfect.

Such a beautiful look of the human soul.

So Long, See You Tomorrow by William Maxwell, which he expresses his prose so honestly as well as elegantly.

Great throughout. Missing interview

This was a wonderful short notice. An interview with the author is referenced, but not included. That is disappointing.

Even the dog's life was destroyed!

This is such a depressing book, but I couldn't walk away from it. I finished in one day. I listened to the audio edition that was narrated by the author. His narration was okay, but occasionally I struggled to understand what he said.
