Book Summary
A failed professor, Samuel Taylor is haunted by the premonition that in
attempting to write out of his system the circumstances surrounding his failure,
he'll only find himself at the mercy of another system, language itself. Each
iteration of his creative effort, whether centered around seemingly mundane
activities such as driving or manual labor, or scrutinizing the current cachet
of rock climbing, illustrates that while experience might preempt artistic
aspiration, those who are wedded to the demands of literary art are at its beck
and call. By turns comic and tragic, Samuel Taylor's Last Night asks us to
consider what it means to be a writer first
