What the rest of us may have accepted too casually he sets upon with his own highly specialized focus. In this novel, more than ever, the texture of the day and hour, the fabric of speech, the pattern of action are used to show forth the humor of objects, people, places, lives, and in their deeper, more mysterious interrelations is disclosed the larger shape of tragedy.\"--Eudora Welty\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFriday, November 22, 1963, in Escondido, California, begins with the discovery of an infant in the adoption basket at the local animal pound. This calculated effort to shock the natives is silenced by the news from Dallas of an event calculated to shock the world. \u003ci\u003eOne Day\u003c\/i\u003e is concerned with the way these two events are related and with the time that begins when conventional time seems to have stopped. The events of this day, both comical and horrifying, make the commonplace seem strange, and the strange familiar. To accommodate the present, the past must be reshuffled, and events accounted for defy accounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the most distinguished American authors, Wright Morris (1910-1988) wrote thirty-three books including \u003ci\u003eThe Field of Vision\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the National Book Award.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wright Morris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803258410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803258419\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.99d","brand":"Wright Morris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44860107227391,"sku":"9780803258419","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe4dd332-842c-4160-99da-e5b07ba9e734.jpg?v=1709135416","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-day-wright-morris-9780803258419","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
