Description from the seller
Robert Anderson – Getting Up and Going Home (The Franklin Library, 1978). Signed by the Author.
Signed Limited First Edition – The Signed First Edition Society
A finely bound First Edition Society release from The Franklin Library, published exclusively for subscribers. Getting Up and Going Home is a deeply introspective novel by playwright and screenwriter Robert Anderson, exploring the complexities of middle age, love, and disillusionment in contemporary America.
Content
In this perceptive and elegant novel, Anderson delves into the emotional struggles of Jack, a man confronting the quiet unraveling of his marriage, career, and sense of purpose. Known for his psychologically astute plays like Tea and Sympathy and I Never Sang for My Father, Anderson brings the same sharp emotional realism to this work, portraying the fragile balance between longing and responsibility, hope and resignation.
The book opens with a personal note to members of The First Edition Society, in which Anderson reflects on the craft of writing and the haunting process of turning experience into story.
