Last Beautiful Days of Autumn, The

The second and center piece in a trilogy of memoirs that John Nichols wrote about his first fifteen years in Taos, New Mexico. Nichols defines his long sojourn in Taos as enthusiastically and poignantly (and humorously) as any of the artists who have so richly evoked the spirit of this complex state. A classic and exuberant paean to the rhythm of life in a wonderful country by the noted author of The Milagro Beanfield War.
