| adam_text | Howard Frank Mosher
has spent the greater part of his
career depicting a relatively isolated section of Vermont
known as the Northeast Kingdom. Yet, even as he
writes about that particular area in the Green Mountain State,
be is investigating age-old themes from among the best English
and American literary works. His first novel, Disappearances
(1977),
signaled the arrival of a master craftsman barkening us
back to Melville s Billy Budd and Moby-Dick in terms of
humankind s struggle against an ever present-evil.
A full
33
years after the publication of his first novel, the
Vermont author, in Walking to Gatlinburg
(2010),
examined the
polarity between cowardice and honor. In the intervening years,
between Disappearances and Gatlinburg, Mosher explored crucial
matters such as the disappearing wilderness, industrialization,
black male/white female encounters, die necessity of humor, the
quest for salvation, and the immortality of romantic love, all
issues that he delved into as he staked out a unique terrain within
the pantheon of Bunyan, Shakespeare, Dreiser, Twain, Faulkner,
Steinbeck, Harper Lee, and others.
JAMES ROBERT SAUNDERS is a professor of English at
Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana.
