176 pp. Black-and-white photographs throughout. A multimedia novel combining photographic images and prose to describe the American experience. Reminiscent of Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, which was published seven years earlier. This account in first-person narrative and photographs of the one-day visit of Clyde Muncy to 'the home place' at Lone Tree, Nebraska, has been called 'as near to a new fiction form as you could get.' Both prose and pictures are homely: worn linoleum, an old man's shoes, well-used kitchen utensils, and weathered siding. Muncy's journey of discovery takes the measure of the man he has become and of what he has left behind.
