In print for the first time in 15 years,Landscape with Traveler is the first full-length novel by Gifford, laying bare the themes that have marked his lifelong career- gay issues, a winsome, Beat-inspired frenzy of love, a generation-defining crossroads in American history.

Written as the protagonist's diary, and structured as three acclaimed short novels bound into one volume, the book recounts the deep friendship between a middle-aged gay man and a young straight man through vignette-like entries, all the while tracing a history of US, from the 1930s through 1970s.

Reviews for Landscape With Traveler: The Pillow Book of Francis Reeves

Landscape with Traveler is a novel with character. The tone is so light and airy it achieves its own separate sense of time...beautifully refined without sacrificing wit or warmth. It's a delight. -- The Boston Sunday Globe For reminding us so artfully of the difficult simplicities, reminding us of what we already know, [the protagonist] Francis Reeves will become part of our landscape. -- Washington Post Book World Landscape with Traveler is a major accomplishment, a small profound novel that will leave the reader utterly affected. Barry Gifford has created a small masterpiece. -- San Francisco Bay Guardian
