Landscape With Traveler: The Pillow Book of Francis Reeves

In print for the first time in 15 years,Landscape with Traveler is the first full-length novel by Gifford, laying bare the themes that have marked his lifelong career- gay issues, a winsome, Beat-inspired frenzy of love, a generation-defining crossroads in American history.Written as the protagonist’s diary, 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 US, from the 1930s through 1970s.
