Description

John McPhee's The Patch is a collection of essays, reflections and reminiscences that come together to form a unique work. Spanning various genres, styles, subjects and moods, the book brings together writings that have not appeared in any previous publication.

The collection is divided into two parts: 'The Sporting Scene' and 'An Album Quilt'. It includes vignettes of McPhee's childhood experiences, his career choices, musical journeys, and personal reflections. The result is a cohesive work that showcases the author's singular style and mastery of language.

Readers can enjoy The Patch as a complete work or pick up individual pieces to appreciate its diverse range of subjects and styles. This collection offers a full taste of McPhee's power over language, making it a compelling read for those interested in literary criticism and essays.
