October 29, 2025Another possible lost classic? Tesch wrote the novel while attending the prestigious Lowney Handy Colony for writers which James Jones attended. Apparently his first and only published book. Tesch's real name was Gerry Tschappat.
The Lowney Handy Colon y doesn't exist anymore but here is a link for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handy_W...
For those like me who don't know James Jones was the author of 'From Here to Eternity' and many other novels, though I've never read him, but I have seen the film of the novel.
All together Never the same again looks worth a look.
For reference in my review:
W.H. Hudson's 'Green Mansions'
