White Houses shows Paul Fenton enjoying good fortune, looking forward to more, only to lose it all. "Rescued" by Valerie Barber, his life gets better because he is now living with a beautiful woman. But it seems there is a heavy price to pay. The events take place mainly on the Pacific coast of Canada and the U.S. and in Morocco and Iceland. In southern Morocco, magazine writer Bryndis Kristjánsdóttir observes the antics of the tourists around her and later writes in her journal about ex-cartoonist and now wildlife artist Fenton and his flash "partner" Val: "She is sexy, bright, a drinker, eccentric, and let's face it, something of a sadist. Her behaviour drives him crazy, almost to the point of despair. And that point is finally reached in Morocco - at Taroudant. She occupies his memory. He carries her around, her image, their drama. It would not be all that surprising if he sat down one day to paint a turkey vulture and it turned out to be an image of Val with huge dark wings, flying low, scanning the ground for meals." Fenton's mind is haunted by thoughts of the crime he may have committed at Taroudant. Val is unable to take it seriously. In the end it may be Bryndis who will find out the truth. After Morocco, the lives of the characters - Canadian, British, American and Icelandic - continue to interact. Bryndis becomes as much a player as an observer. Maybe the Scots dentist's wife Jamie McRitchie, "probably tastier than the condemned man's last meal", could take Val's place in Fenton's life - if Val's place could ever be taken by anyone.

This book is an attempt to approach the work of a leading American novelist from both sides of the looking-glass?from the opposite, but not necessarily opposing, points of view of the writer/creator and the reader/critic. In 1975, while the author was visiting professor of English at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, several scholar-critics (among them John W. Aldridge, Wayne C. Booth, and David Madden) were invited to speak about his craft and artistic aims and principles and to record conversations with him about issues growing from their addresses. Since Morris is also an important photographer, facets of his achievement in this field were considered by Peter C. Bunnell. In addition to four conversations, three lectures, and a portfolio of twelve photographs, this volume includes an essay by Wright Morris and a bibliography compiled by Robert L. Boyce.

He skipped his senior year at college to go to Europe, where he was befriended by a Countess, was kept a prisoner in a castle by a mad Count, and almost met Mussoliniclose enough to land him in an Italian jail. Wright Morris returned to the States and went on to become probably the most experimental American novelist of the last century. He ended up with almost every award and prize that a novelist can earn, and his work was praised over and over again by many of our most prestigious critics. In addition to publishing thirty-four books, he was also an eminent photographer. He not only had his work shown in numerous museums and galleries around the country, but his photographs were also displayed throughout five photo-text booksa form that he pioneered.

It’s 1905 and the Chicago Cubs are banking on superstar Donald “Duke” Dennison’s golden arm to help them win the pennant. Only one thing stands between Duke and an unprecedented ten thousand dollar contract: alcohol. That’s when sportswriter David Voyant whisks Duke to the one-horse town of Picksville, Missouri, so he can sober up in anonymity. He bides his time flirting with Ellie Jane Voyant, his unofficial chaperone, who would rather hide herself in the railway station ticket booth than face the echoes of childhood taunts. Ned Clovis, the feed store clerk, has secretly loved Ellie Jane since childhood, but he loves baseball and the Duke almost as much–until he notices Ellie Jane may be succumbing to the star’s charm. Then there’s Morris, a twelve-year-old Negro boy, whose only dream is to break away from Picksville. When Duke discovers his innate talent for throwing a baseball, Morris might just have found his way out. Four individuals, each living in haunted isolation, each harboring a secret passion. Providence brings them together. Tragedy threatens to tear them apart. Will love be enough to bring them home?
