195225980Indianapolis/New York: The Bobbs-Merrill Company. Very Good in Very Good dj. c.1952. First Edition. Hardcover. price-clipped minor wear to book at spine ends and lower extremities; jacket is edgeworn with a few small nicks here and there a couple of tiny tears at several corners small chip at top front hinge. A sort of psychological suspense novel set immediately after the war 1946 concerning an editorial writer on a large New England newpaper who's suffering from what sounds a bit like PTSD: "Before the war and when he first came home his family consisting of a wife and three children were a happy close-knit family. Now he is withdrawn a touchy stranger of whom the boys are a little afraid." And he's afraid too: "not of atom bombs or a war with Russia but of something. At first he cannot see the face of his fear or put a name to it but it is there. He believes it is his problem alone that he can keep his family out of it but of course they are deeply involved from the first minute. Step by step Ethan comes closer to losing his grip." Honestly this author scares me a little bit. There's something in his eyes and the set of his jaw in his rear-jacket portrait photo that kind of spells trouble -- all the more so when one notes that like his protagonist he was a New England newspaperman who served in the war -- and "likes to collect old firearms"! -- and promises that his next novel "will be full of violence."!!!!. That next novel was about ten years in coming: published in 1961 and entitled "Native to the Grain" it was about a seventy-ish woman who fights the good fight to keep her family mill open when her New England town wants to shut it down. "Full of violence" though Not so much. Maybe the author got the violence out of his system by some other means. Maybe I shouldn't speculate too much about that. .
