A 30-year journey ends in print

9/9/10 - 12:19 am

John Clark Pratt dedicated more than three decades publishing “American Affairs,” his second novel. In 1974, Pratt, who works as an emeritus professor at CSU, was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to teach American literature at the University of Lisbon in Portugal. He arrived shortly after a political revolution in the country and events he missed, combined with the aftershock of the turbulent period, inspired his novel. In the book, an American professor goes to Portugal after divorcing his wife.

The fire started Monday due to dry conditions, high temperatures and powerful winds and is still not contained.
