Bernard DeVoto (1897-1955) was a historian, critic, editor, professor, political commentator, and above all a writer of comprehensive skill. A busy man with a busy life, DeVoto found time to write and answer letters in abundance. In 1933 he received a fan letter from Katharine Sterne, a young woman hospitalized with tuberculosis; his reply touched off an extraordinary eleven-year correspondence. This volume contains 140 of their letters. They have been selected by DeVoto's son Mark, who has also provided detailed notes clarifying ambiguities and obscure references.
