Tallien by Frederic Tuten
In Tallien, a novel that shuttles gracefully between past and present, a young man visits his dying father - formerly a Depression-era union organizer and activist - after a 30-year estrangement. At his bedside, the son relates the tale of Jean Lambert Tallien, a key figure in the French Revolution, who is torn between his egalitarian ideals and his love for an aristocratic woman. In skillful prose, acclaimed author Frederic Tuten uses the historical and contemporary narratives to explore the tensions between passions of the heart and of the mind.A writer, teacher, painter, and art and film critic, Frederic Tuten is the award-winning author of five novels, the memoir My Young Life, and two short story collections, Self-Portraits: Fictions and The Bar at Twilight (forthcoming from Bellevue Literary Press in May 2022). Among other honors, Tuten has received a Guggenheim Fellowship and the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award for Distinguished Writing. He lives in New York.
