Before he vanished in the fog of San Francisco, Weldon Kees (1914-55) was a poet, storyteller, critic, painter, musician, and filmmaker. What remains is a body of work and a large collection of letters that shed light on Kees' complex personality. Robert E Knoll traces the odyssey of a Nebraska boy who made his way in a fiercely competitive national scene, befriending the movers and shakers of the art worlds on both coasts. Kees' letters - satirical, witty, poetic, gossipy, intensely individual - provide the feel of lives being lived, of a career going forth, and finally of the darkness that engulfed him when, in Knoll's phrase, he was 'ten minutes from triumph.' Robert E Knoll is D B and Paula Varner Professor of English Emeritus at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He is the author of "Conversations with Wright Morris: Critical Views and Responses" (Nebraska 1977).
