Fiction Family Life
An extraordinary literary event, a major new novel by the
PEN/Faulkner winner and acclaimed master: a sweeping,
seductive, deeply moving story set in the years after World
War II. From his experiences as a young naval officer in battles off
Okinawa, Philip Bowman returns to America and finds a
position as a book editor. It is a time when publishing is
still largely a private affair—a scattered family of small
houses here and in Europe—a time of gatherings in fabled
apartments and conversations that continue long into the
night. In this world of dinners, deals, and literary
careers, Bowman finds that he fits in perfectly. But despite
his success, what eludes him is love. His first marriage
goes bad, another fails to happen, and finally he meets a
woman who enthralls him—before setting him on a course he
could never have imagined for himself. Romantic and haunting, All That Is explores a life unfolding
in a world on the brink of change. It is a dazzling,
sometimes devastating labyrinth of love and ambition, a
fiercely intimate account of the great shocks and grand
pleasures of being alive.
