Walter Van Tilburg Clark

4.9/5 (19608 ratings)

Description:"The City of Trembling Leaves has something of the quality of a long and wonderful day out of doors, where you start from home early in the morning and come back late at night, tired out and full of mindless well-being. For an Easterner such days are comparatively rare, a break in the ordinary routine of life. For the Westerner they are likely to be the main substance of living."—Saturday Review"Here is a book that is American in all its implications. It is big, full of beauty and hope. It is the record of an American boy's torments and thrills, his slow maturing, his inhibitions, his aspirations. It is a story of adolescent love and of creative activity in America."—Boston Globe"Superbly written book which compares favorably with Thomas Wolfe's Look Homeward Angel."—Library Journal"There is no question that Mr. Clark is an exceptionally gifted writer. His characters are complex and comprehensible individuals. His story is studded with vividly told episodes of high school life, horse-racing, swimming, tennis, dancing and mountain climbing, which sparkles with the vitality of good narrative prose....Most notable is his feeling for Reno and the mountain country around it, which illuminates the entire book."—New York Times Book ReviewBorn in 1909, Walter Van Tilburg Clark ranks as one of Nevada's most distinguished literary figures in the twentieth century, as well as a leading interpreter of the American West. With such highly acclaimed novels as The Ox-Bow Incident, The Track of the Cat, and The City of Trembling Leaves, Clark is known as a writer of national and international distinction.His contribution to American literature is particularly Western. Clark's feeling for man's relationship to the natural world is one that is not often found between the pages of a book.
