The author's fifth novel. Bound in the original blue boards, lettered in shiny silver on the spine. Jacket praise from Frederick Busch: "I read Austin Wright's AFTER GREGORY as if at a perfect meal. It is so satisfying. He tells the whole truth about the relationship of words and living under their spell. He sheds warm light in this very brilliant detective story that breaks every rule of the genre. A wonderful read, a thrilling adventure, an evening in great company." From the Dust Jacket's front flap: "Gregory, dripping wet, has survived a plunge into a river which he had thought would be the last desperate act of his life. He has left his family. He may have killed his neighbor with a hammer. As Gregory he has no reason to go on, but his new future as nobody is surprisingly painless. Eluding capture by messengers from the past, ignoring the messages guilt keeps flashing, he becomes a resource for those who are creating America anew, a touchstone for petty criminals and high financiers alike. He is hugely rewarded. In an America where the past is more often replaced than built upon, he has nearly everything. But he is still putting one foot in front of the other, trying to solve the mystery of who he is -- trying, by force of his exasperated human need to know, to take the crucial step from having an identity to being someone."

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. First Printing [Stated]. [10], 292, [2] pages. Autographed copy sticker on front of DJ. Signed by the author on the title page. DJ has a large tear at rear flap. Peter Gregory, a 35-year-old high school English teacher with an ex-wife and kids, tries to drown himself in the Ohio River. Failing to manage even that, he decides to hitch a ride east, fleeing the state and escaping accusations of rape and murder. As he assumes and discards aliases along the way, he believes that he can begin again, a fresh startā"but the past has a habit of catching up with all of us, no matter how fast we run. Austin McGiffert Wright (1922 - April 23, 2003) was an American novelist, literary critic and professor emeritus of English at the University of Cincinnati. Wright graduated from Harvard University in 1943. He served in the Army (1943-1946). He graduated from the University of Chicago, with a master's degree in 1948, and a Ph.D. in 1959. Austin Wright was a professor in the English Department at the University of Cincinnati for almost forty years. When he died, he had realized certain proceeds from the sale of movie rights to his book Tony and Susan, but he had no reason to believe that a film would actually be made. Tony and Susan was re-issued, and became a major film, Nocturnal Animals (2016). Derived from a Kirkus review: Sometimes indecipherable, often intriguing, this literary and existential mystery-within-a-novel may remind readers of other authors who chart the modern American search for identity. Wright's book opens with a man writing about his life. The man reveals that he was formerly known as Peter Gregory. Fleeing a past that may have involved the murder of his neighbor with a hammer, he hitches rides east, assuming and discarding aliases along the way: Murray Bree, the hitchhiker, is traded for Stephen White, the typewriter-shop employee, and so on. When an eccentric billionaire summons him to his New York office and gives him a grant he can't refuseā"$30 million to become yet another new person and cut all ties to the pastā"he becomes the miraculously fortunate Stephen Trace. Unfortunately for Trace, the detritus of Peter Gregory's life keeps resurfacing. When his benefactor dies in a plane crash and the company's successors come after Trace for his assets, he is forced to flee once again, this time back into the past for a dramatic reconciliation. Wright skillfully conveys how we choose to elude our pasts rather than face them, molding ourselves into different people for separate occasions. While at first we grumble over seemingly meaningless names, the literary games the author plays, and the rules he breaks, the story gains clarity and absorbs us after we start worrying about what the hero is going to do with his cash. Not a mystery in the conventional sense but certainly mysterious, Wright's novel challengingly suggests that we are all con artists in flight from ourselves. An intellectual wordsmith's whodunit.
