Description
Ever open to scientific, literary, philosophical, and theological ways of viewing reality, Maclean found ambiguity, paradoxically, to be an essential tool for probing the truth. Beyond exploring Maclean's use of this tool, Schilling breaks new ground by considering Maclean's invocation of the Transcendentals in "A River Runs through It," noting the sly homage Maclean pays to Izaak Walton, examining Maclean's often-neglected "Other Stories," assessing Robert Redford's film adaptation of "A River Runs through It," and providing the most thorough exploration of Young Men and Fire yet available.
With this book, Schilling offers a current and complete analysis of Maclean—one of the most iconic figures in Western American literature.
