The American Golfer
(Charlie Kingston, an American PGA tour player suffering p...)
Charlie Kingston, an American PGA tour player suffering personal and professional losses at home, goes to the village in Ireland where his great-grandmother was born, for a rest and change of pace. Charlie falls in love with Lora, a beautiful Irish woman whose husband, a wealthy Brit, owns an estate with its own ultra-private golf course. The simmering politics of Ireland, political intrigue on the local level, and personal revelations, all act to change the direction of Charlie's life. There is plenty of golf in the novel, but one need not be a player or lover of the game to embrace The American Golfer.

Anthony Robinson
Edit ProfileEducation
He graduated from Phillips Academy and Columbia College, Columbia University, where Mark Van Doren and George Nobbe encouraged him to pursue a career in writing.
Career
A story he wrote aboard ship, “The Farlow Express,” was published in Prairie Schooner and was later included in The Best American Short Stories of 1957. His first novel, A Departure From the Rules, the story of the worst peacetime disaster in the history of the United States Navy, drew on his Navy experience, and was cited by critics for its "extraordinary skill" (Chicago 1960). He then turned his attention to the moral issues of contemporary society in The Easy Way, praised for its "insights into the legal profession" (Buffalo), Home Again, Home Again, which drew on his experience in the Maverick Artists Colony, "for which the author has a visible attachment" (Levin), and The Whole Truth, "an attention-grabber that will not let go until the last words have been read" (Times-Herald).
His 1991 novel, The Member-Guest, has been described as "the consummate golf novel" (Falco).
