Billie Dyer and Other StoriesThrough seven wonderfully moving stories, William Maxwell revisits his native town of Lincoln, Illinois, in the early 1900s and considers some of its inhabitants who have, through the years, remained haunting figures to him. In the foreground, brought wholly alive, are relatives, neighbors, and family friends eccentric and otherwise. |
