Howard Frank Mosher
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Howard Frank Mosher is a contemporary author of nine books: eight fiction and one non-fiction. Much of his fiction takes place in the mid-20th century and all of it is set in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, a region loosely defined by the three counties in the northeastern corner of the state (Essex, Orleans, and Caledonia).
His books, in order of publication, are: Disappearances, Where the Rivers Flow North, Marie Blythe, A Stranger in the Kingdom, Northern Borders, North Country (nonfiction), The Fall of the Year, The True Account, and Waiting for Teddy Williams.
His characters are often quirky, reflecting the distinctive peculiarities of the region's taciturn residents.
He is the 1981 recipient of the Literature Award bestowed by the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters.
A Stranger In the Kingdom won the New England Book Award for Fiction in 1991, and was later filmed by director Jay Craven. Craven has also adapted Disappearances and Where the Rivers Flow North to film.
Mosher lives with his wife in Irasburg, Vermont.
