Visions of a Basque American Westerner: International Perspectives on the Writings of Frank Bergon presents the essays of nine scholars and writers from the United States and Europe on the novels, essays, and critical works of Frank Bergon.
Topics range from Basque aspects of Bergon’s fiction to his investigation of inauthenticity in a post-truth world, from discussions of Shoshone Mike as a “perfect novel” to work on The Journals of Lewis and Clarkas a “dazzling and foundational account” in literary ecocriticism.
A focus on Bergon’s fiction reveals his uniqueness as the only novelist to present Basque American experience linearly across four generations and the first to render fully the voices of Okie California since The Grapes of Wrath.
