Heaven's My Destination - Paperback

by Thornton Wilder (Author)

"If John Steinbeck's mighty Grapes of Wrath is the tragic novel of the Great Depression, then Heaven's My Destination is its comic
masterpiece. --J.D. McClatchy

A
hilarious tale about goodness in a fallen world, Heaven's My Destination
introduces George Marvin Brush, one of
Thornton Wilder's most memorable characters. Brush, a traveling textbook
salesman, is a fervent religious convert who is determined to lead a good life.
With sad and sometimes hilarious consequences, his travels take him through
smoking cars, bawdy houses, banks, and campgrounds from Texas to Illinois--and
into the soul of Depression-era America itself.

This special edition includes an updated afterword by Wilder's nephew,
Tappan Wilder, with illuminating material about the author and book.
