Travels with My Royal 在线电子书 图书描述

From Publishers Weekly After 17 books and 20 years of National Geographic reportage, Laxalt lets readers peek behind the curtain at the man and his writing process. Divided into three parts "Growing Up," "Writing Days" and "Selected Books and How They Came To Be" Laxalt's anecdotal memoir describes the forces that shaped him personally and professionally, from his boyhood in Carson City, Nev., through his years as a globe-trotting journalist. In terse yet resonant prose, reminiscent of his previous works, he details how, as a United Press correspondent, he covered executions and interviewed gangsters. As a journalist for National Geographic, he traveled extensively, exploring the life of the gauchos in Argentina and traversing the spine of the Pyrenees. Equally compelling are poignant stories of his beloved Nevada and his Basque-immigrant family: his father was a sheepherder; his mother owned a hotel. In the final section he writes, "the creative process is largely unexplainable," but then deftly examines the nuts and bolts of some of his most important works, including Sweet Promised Land, still in print after 40 years. Readers are privy to the intersections between his outward life and his imagination, where plots and characters were born, and to the answers to the questions that each of his stories poses. For readers unfamiliar with Laxalt, this is a great introduction after putting it down, one wants to pick up his previous writings, both fiction and non. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal Laxalt has led a dynamic and multidimensional life, which he now shares in this memoir. He describes his experiences growing up in Nevada during the Depression, which include his family stories of bootlegging and raising sheep. He made it through school and eventually to the University of Nevada, Reno. After graduation, he began a career in journalism, and his life took off. He served as director of news and publications at the University of Nevada and held a simultaneous two-decade assignment as a National Geographic writer; he also cofounded the University of Nevada Press. In his career, he has interviewed mobsters and ridden with gauchos in Argentina, among other things. The second half of the memoir provides background for the books he has written, which include A Man in the Wheatfield, In a Hundred Graves: A Basque Portrait, and The Basque Hotel. This is a fascinating look into the life of one of our great journalists. By the way, the Royal he refers to in his title is the Royal typewriter he carried with him for years. For all collections.
