- Synopsis
- Landscape with Traveler: The Pillow Book of Francis Reeves is Barry Gifford's first full-length novel. In print for the first time in fifteen years, Landscape with Traveler is written as the protagonist's diary--inspired by the first century Japanese writer Sei Shōnagon's pillow book--and structured as three acclaimed short novels bound into one volume. The book recounts the deep friendship between a middle-aged gay man and a young straight man through vignette-like entries, all the while tracing a history of the US from the 1930s through 1970s. Laying bare the themes that have marked his lifelong career: a winsome, beat-inspired frenzy of love, a generation-defining crossroads in American history--the novel tells an honest story of a male homosexual life. From the Trade Paperback edition.
