I'Ll Go No More A-Roving

Praise for Somewhere I Have Never TraveledTh is fourth volume of Robert Ayres Carters autobiography takes the readerback to the 1970s. From the outside, Carters life seems conventional: he was anexecutive in the world of publishing and advertising, commuting between LongIsland and Manhattan. Setting this work apart from the ordinariness of that sortof life is the clarity of his unfl inching revelation of his private aff airs, emotions,and thoughts. His struggles to become a writer of novels, his self-doubts, and hisemotional and physical involvement with many women, and the collapse of twomarriages are all described vividly with the skill of the accomplished novelist. Perhaps most poignant of all are his descriptions of his sense of loss from hisseparation from his two sons. -James Scanlon, Professor Emeritus of History, Randolph-Macon College
