"A thoughtful novel, tinged with irony."—<i>Christian Science Monitor</i> "The atmosphere is warm, tense, and sympathetic, and so is the writing."—<i>New Yorker</i> Walker "has commented on an important subject with sincerity."—<i>New York Times Book Review</i> "Sensitive and well written."—<i>Library Journal</i> "An understanding and interesting exploration of personalities and emotions."—<i>Booklist</i>

James Cutler, a high school physics teacher, is shattered by the suicide of his most promising student. Hoping to gain perspective and peace of mind, he travels with his wife, Phyllis, to Vermont to spend the summer at the farm of old friends, Josh and Lucy Blair. The Body of a Young Man is a deeply moving story of four people whose friendship asks more than they can give and offers more than they can take. Only in observing another tragedy does James begin to see vulnerability as a virtue and ambiguity as a source of strength.
