Publisher Description In these quirky and often erudite tales, youll meet scores of larger-than-life characters: a canny Palm Beach trophy husband, a burnt-out college poet, and a financial adviser who startles his neighbors with his fantastic Danse du Diable. Theres one of those irritating city bus riders who crowds in next to you and wont shut up. (At one point, he confesses to his trapped seat mate, "Orangutans are my kind of guys." And means it!)In New York Citys Central Park, Catholic schoolboys fight mock battles. In rural Florida and with just one punch from his bony hammer of a fist, a race-car mechanic (reputed to be the ugliest man who ever lived) sparks a riot that disrupts a car race and punctures the pretentions of an entire town.In a gentler tale, a young man recalls with longing his friendship with a remote, almost mystical woman; in another, a less innocent lover struggles against his unwavering adoration for his paramour, who - he knows - intends literally to destroy him.Opera singers, posturing professors, would-be revolutionaries, and more! Its all here in Tutelary Presences: a cavalcade of memorable characters and remarkable events guaranteed to bring you unparalleled illumination and unstinting delight. Author Biography Johann M. Moser was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1940. He grew up in New York City and later in New Jersey. At Dartmouth College he majored in philosophy and studied with the poet Richard Eberhart. In 1970, he received a Ph.D. in comparative literature from the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., where he specialized in poetics and medieval literature. From 1970 until his retirement in 2000, he taught literature and philosophy at St. Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire.Moser published a volume of verse titled Most Ancient of All Splendors with Sophia Institute Press in 1989, as well as edited and translated for the press both an anthology of classical Nativity verse and, in collaboration with a colleague, Robert Anderson, an edition of St. Thomas Aquinass hymns and prayers.Although familiar with many areas of the United States and having lived several years abroad, Moser spent his early summers in the Lakes Region of central New Hampshire, where he has now resided for over half a century. In these decades, he has formed an intimate bond with northern New England, whose mountains and lakes and lively populace have been a source of inspiration for him, even as he has devoted himself to a sustained pursuit and emulation of world literature.
