Description
Book SynopsisThis account in first-person narrative and photographs of the one-day visit of Clyde Muncy to “the home place” at Lone Tree, Nebraska, has been called “as near to a new fiction form as you could get.” Both prose and pictures are homely: worn linoleum, an old man's shoes, well-used kitchen utensils, and weathered siding.

New York Times"A pathbreaking and still unique example of the integration of photographs and narrative text."—Alan Trachtenberg
"An extremely able photographer and a first-rate writer."—
San Francisco Chronicle"A fine piece of Americana."—
Library Journal"A superb and . . . revolutionary wedding of prose and pictures, a kind of new art form." —
