In the late 1970s and early 1980s, a quiet corner of southwestern Vermont became a summer gathering place for the literary world. Here is a personal record of that place and time--a vivid account that brings to life a vanished era of letters.

Under the direction of novelists Nicholas Delbanco and John Gardner, the Bennington Writing Workshops set out to create a gathering of master practitioners in the work of words with students as apprentices. In the workshops, the next generation of writers could learn from masters of their craft. This is an homage to that system--and of the electric, often eccentric, energy found in a community of authors.

With wit, candor, and elegance, Delbanco's memories bring his colleagues back for one final session.
