Publisher's Summary
In Summer over Autumn, Howard Mansfield sifts through the commonplace and the forgotten to discover stories that tell us about ourselves and our place in the world - in this case, Hancock, New Hampshire.
Writer and critic Guy Davenport says Mansfield “has never written an uninteresting or dull sentence. All of his books are emotionally and intellectually nourishing. He is something like a cultural psychologist along with being a first-class cultural historian. He is humane, witty, bright-minded, and rigorously intelligent.”
"It’s as if Walt Whitman had come out of the grave in the persona of Howard Mansfield for one more epic. I highly recommend this 'small book' full of big ideas." (Ernest Hebert, author of Howard Elman’s Farewell and The Old American)
"Howard Mansfield has a journalist’s instinct for digging up a good story, an historian’s deep knowledge of his subject, an old soul’s insights into life, and a poet’s gift for turning a phrase." (Andi Axman, editor of New Hampshire Home)
"Goes straight to the heart of the inscrutable nature of small town life. We are left with no choice but to love this book." (Edie Clark, author of The Place He Made)
"Whenever Howard Mansfield writes about the world around him, whether it be small-town New England, or what compels us to preserve the artifacts of our lives, or the mystery of time, I pay attention. When I finish a Howard Mansfield story or book I look upon a world changed. His curiosity propels every sentence he writes, no more so than in Summer Over Autumn." (Mel Allen, editor of Yankee)
