An Unfinished Season
ByPublisher Description
In
, Ward Just evokes a city, an epoch, and a shift in ideals through the story of nineteen-year-old Wilson Ravan. In his summer before college, Wils finds himself straddling three worlds: the working-class newsroom where he's landed a coveted job as a rookie reporter, the whirl of glittering North Shore debutante parties where he spends his nights, and the growing cold war between his parents at home.
With unparalleled grace and incisive observation, Just brings Wils's circle to radiant life. Through his finely wrought portraits of a father and son, young lovers, and newsroom dramas, Just also stirringly captures a seismic shift in American political life.

“Spare and introspective; a character study that finally gets off the ground in the middle, when Wils, the protagonist, finally has witty conversation with Aurora, his debutante party pick-up. This is a coming-of-age story set in a time that is now hard to relate, when dads teach their sons to drink (heavily, it seems) and boys becoming men are highly aware of the nuances of everything from career choices to their mother's fits of redecorating.”
