Signals from a Lampless Beacon: Their Burdens Lifted
IN THIS his second novel, sequel to the first but entirely readable as it stands alone, Paul Traywick continues the stories of the women and men who are his characters ("They are all 'main characters' "), and develops the themes of loss, love, madness, death, and, chiefly, of man's opportunity to "lift up his heart," a need so desperate in our world today...as it has likely been always , will likely always be. The expanded perception of this world, of worlds beyond it, and glimpses of a wholly transcendent yet contrarily accessible realm abide continuously above the broad but intense array of human events; above exulting, striving, enduring people; above brightly living places.
Signals from a Lampless Beacon
A long-dark lamp is rekindled. The South is unshrouded from the Gothic cloth woven by so many poets, dramatists, and novelists of stature. Characters share their obsessive lunacies and tragic error with the rest of humankind; their heritage of cultivation, moral strength, and compassion is allowed to stand forth in a chronicle of two races, of three families, of four generations, beginning in Wartime of 1941-1945. Abduction aboard a U-boat; violation, suicide, and intimations of redemption; global amnesia, its complications, its release; extortion by a priest preparedhe supposesto commit murder in the process; falling in love; losing ones love; near-drowning at the climax of an idiosyncratic...
Signals from a Lampless Beacon
A review of that novel, Beasts of Burden, begins: Subtle moral conundrums stir this luminous saga of genteel Southern society in the mid-20th century, and ends: An engrossing social tapestry, filled with quiet spiritual dramas. Kirkus Reviews The saga, which chronicles, primarily, three families, two races, and four generations, was brought forward in the second novel, Their Burdens Lifted, published in 2010. It is completed, with all narrative, moral, and philosophical strands brought together, in the present book, A Great City. Traywick has stated that he intends to publish no further novel. Whether this marks the end of his effort as a writer remains to be seen. He will certainly pursue his preferred pastimes: Carpentry, plumbing, electrical wiring, masonry, the study of Old English, and painting (pictures, not walls). Traywick lives with his wife of 45 years in the mountains of Western North Carolina in summer, in winter in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. They have four children and, at this time, six grandchildren.
