Samuel Taylor's Last Night – A Novel, Paperback / softback Book

Samuel Taylor's Last Night – A Novel Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

A failed professor, Samuel Taylor is haunted by the premonition that in attempting to write out of his system the circumstances surrounding his failure, he'll only find himself at the mercy of another system, language itself.

Each iteration of his creative effort, whether centered around seemingly mundane activities such as driving or manual labor, or scrutinizing the current cachet of rock climbing, illustrates that while experience might preempt artistic aspiration, those who are wedded to the demands of literary art are at its beck and call.

By turns comic and tragic, Samuel Taylor's Last Night asks us to consider what it means to be a writer first and last.
