Sinopsis

Collecting stories from John Taylor&rsquo,s upbringing in Des Moines, these &ldquo,charming evocations of a Midwestern childhood&rdquo, (as the French film director Louis Malle called them), recall an &ldquo,average&rdquo, neighborhood in the 1950s and 1960s. The death of the author&rsquo,s mother gives rise to these sensitive reminiscences, which also conjure up first loves, playmates, and a motley assortment of true-to-life characters who express their modest joys and lasting secret sorrows. The Presence of Things Past (the title alludes to the eleventh book of the Confessions of Saint Augustine), is a tribute to a lost mother, a lost neighborhood, a lost city, and a lost childhood.
