Farewell Bend weaves fact and fiction into a story that takes readers back to the 1950s in a small Western town where the narrator's father runs the local paper as his own benevolent fiefdom. The novel is a coming of age story - a song of tribute to Jack Kavanagh's family, his risk-taking friend Pete Sanger, and to his Japanese American classmates, as well as the culture he longed to flee. But the town turns out to be the home Jack can never return to and can't leave behind.

Full disclosure: This author is a good friend.
Now, about the book:
Farewell Bend is one individual's story of what is probably a universal human experience: in one's later years, wistfully looking back on youth with some fondness and nostalgia; but also with sadness and regret, for lost opportunities, lost families, loves and friendships, and lost days and years that are simply gone forever and can't be brought back. This man is remembering his 1950s youth in a small isolated Oregon town that is, depending on perception, a charming, rustic piece of Americana, or a boring, dreary dead end. But most everybody who's lived a few years has their own "Farewell Bend," to deal with, whether a small town or urban center.
The message that emerges from this story is that it's ultimately useless to try to run away. Better to fully embrace each moment, wherever and whenever, than to grow old looking back with regret.

Farewell Bend edition by Larry L Lynch Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews


Having gone to high school with the author I was looking for more information about the community and the school. I was surprised about how disfunctional the Lynch family was. I also felt the author was very negative about himself and tended to put himself down too much. I would have enjoyed being reminded about some of the homorous things that occurred at the high school and in the community at that time.
Anyone who looks back at his or her past with nostalgia, melancholy or trepidation will love this book. This reader winced with embarrassed recognition at the predicaments in which the main character Jack found himself, and recalled the combination of bravado and insecurity that characterizes the passage from adolescence to young adulthood. I particularly appreciated the fact that the writer presented Jack as a complicated person, rather than as a cardboard character either a jock/ladies' man or a complete nerd. And I loved the newspaper angle -- it gave the writer a window through which to view the main characters, their relationships and the 1950s town in which they lived.
