Three Farmers on Their Way to a Dance: A Novel

Three tales intertwine around a photo of three young men on the brink of WWI in this literary debut by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Overstory.

In the spring of 1914, renowned photographer August Sander took a photograph of three young men on their way to a country dance. This haunting image, capturing the last moments of innocence on the brink of World War I, provides the central focus of Powers’s brilliant and compelling novel. As the fate of the three farmers is chronicled, two contemporary stories unfold. The young narrator becomes obsessed with the photo, while Peter Mays, a computer writer in Boston, discovers he has a personal link with it. The three stories connect in a surprising way and offer the reader a glimpse into a mystery that spans a century of brutality and progress.

Praise for Three Farmers on Their Way to a Dance

A National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist

“An obsessive, witty, moving, often electrifying whale of a book about nothing less than the twentieth century. . . . An auspicious debut.” —Kirkus Reviews

“A scintillating, high-octane intellectual flight of fancy.” —Newsday

“One of the few younger American writers who can stake a claim to the legacy of Pynchon, Gaddis, and DeLillo.” —Gerald Howard, The Nation

“Bristlingly intelligent. . . . Powers is a superb writer.” —Chicago Tribune

“A writer of blistering intellect. . . . [Powers is] a novelist of ideas and a novelist of witness, and in both respects, he has few American peers.” —Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times
