The final installment in Tito Perdue's William's House tour de force, The Bachelor continues to chart young Albert Pefley's journey to manhood, this time across sea crossings and in a foreign land. Having secured work with an exotic engineering firm in Chile, Albert endures an endless voyage and a drastic culture shock, in time winning the respect not only of his colleagues, but of a wealthy family and, even more importantly, their daughter. Albert must finally decide where his loyalties lie, if his heart belongs in the mountains and gardens of dusky Chile, or in the sweet tea rhythms of his beloved Alabama, where his mother grows older each day. Material success or maintaining the hearth: this is the dilemma that lies at the heart of Albert's journey.

Autorenporträt
Tito Perdue was born in 1938 in Chile, the son of an electrical engineer from Alabama. The family returned to Alabama in 1941, where Tito graduated from the Indian Springs School, a private academy near Birmingham, in 1956. He then attended Antioch College in Ohio for a year, before being expelled for cohabitating with a female student, Judy Clark. In 1957, they were married, and remain so today. He graduated from the University of Texas in 1961, and spent some time working in New York City, an experience which garnered him his life-long hatred of urban life. After holding positions at various university libraries, Tito has devoted himself full-time to writing since 1983. He is the author of twenty-three novels, which have been praised in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Reader, The New England Review of Books, Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture, The Quarterly Review, The Occidental Observer, and at Counter-Currents. In 2015, he received the H. P. Lovecraft Prize for Literature.
