This is the central volume in Horton Footeâ€™s remarkable nine-play Orphansâ€™ Home Cycle, in which the author chronicles the evolution of a familyâ€”the strengths that bind its members together and the strains that force them apartâ€”and the cataclysmic changes in Southern society over twenty-six turbulent years.

Humor & Entertainment

Scribner

For more than five decades, Horton Foote, "the Chekhov of the small town," has chronicled the changes in American life -- both intimate and universal. His adaptation of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird and his original screenplay Tender Mercies earned him Academy Awards. He received an Indie Award for Best Writer for The Trip to Bountiful and a Pulitzer Prize for The Young Man from Atlanta. In his plays and films, Foote has returned over and over again to Wharton, Texas, where he was born and where he lives, once again, in the house in which he grew up. Now for the first time, in Farewell, Foote turns to prose to tell his own story and the stories of the real people who have inspired his characters. His memoir is both a celebration of the immense importance of community and evidence that even a strong community cannot save a lost soul. Farewell is as deeply moving as the best of Foote's writing for film and theater, and a gorgeous testimony to his own faith in the human spirit.

In the sequel to Farewell, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and dramatist continues his story as he recounts how his acting aspirations took him from Pasadena to New York City in the 1930s, his discovery of his talent for writing, and his marriage and offers anecdotes about his encounters with New York's colorful theatrical community and its personalities. 20,000 first printing.
