THE book on McPhee

This book gave me fascinating insights into the life and work of a writer I've admired for years. I especially liked the account of McPhee's early years in Princeton and Vermont.

lucid and informative

McPhee is an important American writer and should have had a number of books written about his work before Pearson's, but this is terrific beginning. Pearson's book is intelligent, wonderfully written (interesting in its own right as a piece of prose), and suggestive. His book does what all good criticism should do -- it makes a reader want to go back to the author's work and re-experience it.
