A PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST WINNER OF THE HEARTLAND PRIZE FOR FICTION "Stunning."-USA Today "A master American novelist." -Vanity Fair Set in Eisenhower-era Chicago, An Unfinished Season brilliantly evokes a city, an epoch, and a shift in ideals through the closely observed story of nineteen-year-old Wilson Ravan.

With unparalleled grace, Ward Just brings Wils's circle to radiant life. Through his finely wrought portraits of a father and son, young lovers, and newsroom dramas, Just also stirringly depicts an American political era.
