Goodbye to a River

A Narrative

by John Graves ...

Series series Vintage Departures
In the 1950s, a series of dams was proposed along the Brazos River in north-central Texas. For John Graves, this project meant that if the stream’s regimen was thus changed, the beautiful and sometimes brutal surrounding countryside would also change, as would the lives of the people whose rugged ancestors had eked out an existence there. Graves therefore decided to visit that stretch of the river ... Read more

Observations on a Patch of Land

by John Graves ...

The two-time National Book Award finalist and author of Goodbye to a River ruminates over what an "unmagnificent" Texas homestead has meant to him."A kind of homemade book—imperfect like a handmade thing, a prize. It's a galloping, spontaneous book, on occasion within whooping distance of that greatest and sweetest of country books, Ivan Turgenev's A Sportsman's Notebook." —Edward Hoagland, The ... Read more
