Missing - 9781737513445

Missing centers on the author's connection to William Maxwell, legendary fiction editor at The New Yorker and old friend of Cornelia Maude Spelman's parents. Maxwell and Spelman become acquainted in his later years; through him, she is able to see her parents as young people with potential, when previously she'd been saddened by what seemed like their mediocre, unsuccessful lives...Maxwell's presence dominates the first chapter with warmth, affection, and charm; later, his appearance in the book is sporadic and just right: otherwise, readers might miss out on Spelman's fine narrative voice and rich nonfiction storytelling skills. ?Lisa Romeo, Forward Reviews
