About This Item
New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons (1969) Book Club Edition. By the author of "The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit." Sloan Wilson's first book of non-fiction. In it he tells what happened to him when he decided to abandon the comforts his career as a successful novelist had brought him in order to pursue a lifelong dream. On one level the book is a rollicking account of how he, together with his young and attractive second wife and their two-year old daughter, moved aboard a boat on which they intended to live while cruising to the Bahamas. But on a deeper and more meaningful level it is the story of a man approaching middle age who admits that he is bored with his way of life and has the courage to do something about it.....Blue boards, bookplate to fep...name to ffep. A clean bright copy.. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good.
