Esteemed author Robert Bausch has published his eighth novel and it can be ordered via Amazon.com. I am honored to work with this exceptionally talented writer and gifted professor at Northern Virginia Community College in Woodbridge, Virginia.
Author Summary:
Bobby Hale is a Union veteran several times over. After the war, he sets his sights on California, but only makes it to Montana. As he stumbles around the West, from the Wyoming Territory to the Black Hills of the Dakotas, he finds meaning in the people he meets-settlers and native people-and the violent history he both participates in and witnesses. Far as the Eye Can See is the story of life in a place where every minute is an engagement in a kind of war of survival, and how two people-a white man and a mixed-race woman-in the midst of such majesty and violence can manage to find a pathway to their own humanity.
Since 1975, Robert Bausch has been a college professor, teaching creative writing,
American literature, world literature, humanities, philosophy, and expository
writing. He has taught at the University of Virginia, American University,
George Mason University, and Johns Hopkins University. For the balance of his
career he has been teaching at Northern Virginia Community College. He has also
been a director on the board of the Pen-Faulkner Foundation. In 2009 he was
awarded the John Dos Passos Prize in Literature. ( James Gilford)
