A Summons to Memphis
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Random House Inc
- Publish date: 07/01/1999
During the twilight of a Sunday afternoon in March, New York book editor Phillip Carver receives an urgent phone call from each of his older, unmarried sisters. They plead with Phillip to help avert their widower father's impending remarriage to a younger woman. Hesitant to get embroiled in a family drama, he reluctantly agrees to go back south, only to discover the true motivation behind his sisters' concern. While there, Phillip is forced to confront his domineering siblings, a controlling patriarch, and a flood of memories from his troubled past.
Peter Taylor is one of the masters of Southern literature, whose work stands in the company of Eudora Welty, James Agee, and Walker Percy. In A Summons to Memphis he composed a richly evocative story of revenge resolution, and redemption, and gave us a classic work of American literature.
