About this product
Product Information
Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Award Winner, 1985 "This fine first novel courts comparison with Willa Cather's . . . O Pioneers But there is a big difference, since O Pioneers . . . is about beginnings, while Leaving the Land is, sadly and disturbingly, about endings. It shows family farming giving way to corporate farming and agribusiness. . . . Marge Hogan] has character, which is probably not inheritable. It is a rare commodity in modern novels."-New York Times Book Review. The reputation of Leaving the Land has grown steadily since its first publication in 1984. It was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the Robert F. Kennedy Award and was an ALA Notable book in 1984. Douglas Unger, a professor of English at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, is also the author of El Yanqui and The Turkey War, and, most recently, Voices from Silence: A Novel of Repression and Terror in Argentina.

Reviews
"Douglas Unger's first novel is one of [the year's best. . . . He's made a powerful debut."- Newsweek, "A vivid and memorable portrait of a small South Dakota farming community whose colorful folk traditions and way of life are destroyed by corporate agribusiness. The power of the book rests on it realistic characters. . . . Unger's language is spare and clean-his prose often as stark as the land he describes."- San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle, "An unusually mature first novel, as unsentimental as its unlucky heroine, but filled with a sly affection for unwitting victims."- New Yorker, "This fine first novel courts comparison with Willa Cather's . . . O Pioneers! But there is a big difference, since O Pioneers! . . . is about beginnings, while Leaving the Land is, sadly and disturbingly, about endings.
