Media Reviews

"Ian Frazier entertained with 'Dating Your Mom' and instructed with 'Great Plains'. Now, in a book of a lifetime, he has concocted that rarest of events, a family reunion worth inviting strangers to attend....Mr. Frazier, in this remarkable history of an unremarkable family, plays both roles, the gossip and the pedant, balances them skillfully, then adds his own insights as a loyal family member, as a family member who has gone astray and left Ohio for Brooklyn and 'The New Yorker', and as an informal historian who sees the mirror images of America and family in each other."    -- D. McCullough

   -- New York Times Book Review

"A stunning book, written in sentences and paragraphs concealing emotional depth charges that explode across the gap from page to reader."    -- Geoffrey Stokes

   -- Boston Sunday Globe

New York, NY, U.S.A.: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1994. Hardcopy with brown faux-leather boards and gold printing on boards, is in VERY FINE condition. Brodart-wrapped DJ, NOT price-clipped, is in VERY GOOD condition. It shows minor wear at spine, top and bottom and along top front edge. "Family," Ian Frazier's first book since his best-selling "Great Plains" (1989), tells the history of his family in America from the early colonial days to the present. Using letters and other family documents, he reconstructs two hundred years of middle-class life, visiting small towns his ancestors lived in, reading books they read, discovering the larger forces of history that affected them. He observes some of them during the British raid on Danbury, Connecticut, in the Revolutionary War; he follows others west as they pioneer in the wilderness of Ohio and Indiana, where schoolteachers were paid in whiskey and front-door hinges were made of bacon rind. He visits the battlefields where they fought the Civil War. Parts of the book detail life in the town of Norwalk, Ohio, a county seat founded by his great-great-great-great-grandfather, as it emerges from backwoods hardscrabble into the prosperity of the Gilded Age. Frazier interviews old-timers, uncles, aunts, cousins, maids, and a beer-store owner who knew his dad. He pursues the family saga in aspect from trivial to grand, hoping for "a meaning that would defeat death." "Family" is a poetic epic of facts, a chronicle of Protestant culture's rise and fall, a memorial, and a revised view of American history as romantic as it is cold-eyed.. First Edition Stated. Hard Cover. Very Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Brown Leatherette Boards. (more information)
