Introduction By: Charles Baxter (2000)
Original Title: Plains Song - For Female Voices
Nowhere in [Morris's] fiction does emotion emerge from detail so beautifully as in this precise and vivid book. . . . The triumph of the book, in terms of craft, is that we experience the sense of the slow passage of time so necessary to such a story. . . .
Wright Morris (1910-1998) wrote thirty-three books, including The Home Place, also available in a Bison Books edition, and Field of Vision, which won the National Book Award. Charles Baxter is a professor of English at the University of Michigan and the author of numerous works, including The Feast of Love.
The heart of the book is its tactful rendering of the emotional history of several women. . . . Precise, satisfying, and complete.βNew York Times Book Review
