Hardback. New. Charles Martyn, PhD, age 60, author of a classic work of literary criticism, is on his second trip to Ibiza - this time with his new wife Susan - searching for his artist son Led.

As the plane left the Madrid airport, Charles Martyn, PhD, age sixty-two, author of A Last Look at the American Novel-used (as a reviewer of the third edition noted) "in virtually every North American college or university where the department chair has not written a similar, but inferior, book"-told Susan, his second wife, that the first thing they would see when they landed on the island of Ibiza would be windmills.
