Set in Eisenhower-era Chicago, An Unfinished Season brilliantly
evokes a city, an epoch, and a shift in ideals through the closely
observed story of nineteen-year-old Wilson Ravan. In his summer
before college, Wils finds himself straddling three worlds: the
working-class newsroom where he's landed a coveted job as a rookie
reporter, the whirl of glittering North Shore debutante parties
where he spends his nights, and the growing cold war between his
parents at home. With unparalleled grace, Ward Just brings Wils's
circle to radiant life. Through his finely wrought portraits of a
father and son, young lovers, and newsroom dramas, Just also
stirringly depicts an American poltical era.
