Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. 148 pages. Cover worn and fadedFollow the Call is [a] . sto ry of the uncertain course of the love affair of a young returned serviceman struggling with a poorly endowed Taranaki dairy farm in the 1920s. .The novel shares several qualities with the 'Me and Gus' stories, besides its Taranaki setting and frequent humou r. As Terry Sturm says in his introduction: 'Anthony's realism is based on the assumption that the ordinary lives he describes wit h such energy are interesting for their own sake, without the nee d to import any artificial devices of plot, or to move outside th e natural idiom of his characters.' . An unfinished novel, 'Dav e Baird' set on a sheep farm in the wilder hinterland of Taranaki , is also included in this volume. Its bleaker, less hopeful mood forms a contrast with Anthony's other writings.--Back cover. Seller Inventory # 2708z
