Goodbye, Wisconsin

A collection of stories, originally published in 1928, from the author of The Grandmothers and The Pilgrim Hawk. A couple set fire to an old farmhouse to collect insurance money. A groom contemplates an old sexual escapade while he waits for his bride at the altar. A young farm boy returns to tell his brother about his capers while stationed in France in the Navy. The eleven stories in this collection, including an introductory essay by Wescott on returning to his parents' West Allis home outside Milwaukee, deal with themes of exile—often self-imposed—and return. This Belt Revivals edition features a new introduction by Patrick Nathan.
