I’ll Go No More A-Roving

About the Book

Praise for Somewhere I Have Never Traveled “Th is fourth volume of Robert Ayres Carter’s autobiography takes the reader back to the 1970s. From the outside, Carter’s life seems conventional: he was an executive in the world of publishing and advertising, commuting between Long Island and Manhattan. Setting this work apart from the ordinariness of that sort of life is the clarity of his unfl inching revelation of his private aff airs, emotions, and thoughts. His struggles to become a writer of novels, his self-doubts, and his emotional and physical involvement with many women, and the collapse of two marriages are all described vividly with the skill of the accomplished novelist. Perhaps most poignant of all are his descriptions of his sense of loss from his separation from his two sons.” —-James Scanlon, Professor Emeritus of History, Randolph-Macon College
