Description: An American Mosaic is composed of pieces that taken together provide a vivid look at vanishing scenes of American life.

Here, Robert Wolf offers a collective autobiography of the American heartland written for the most part by everyday men and women without literary ambition. Focusing on the second half of the twentieth century, this collection of essays, short stories, poems, and memoirs - woven together with Wolf's introductory notes and commentaries - is the culmination of nine years of Free River Press writing workshops conducted by Wolf for the purpose of documenting contemporary American life.
