He had served an apprenticeship to a Boston wood engraver, then worked as an illustrator for Harper's, Scribner's and Century magazines.

...sailor's return to a small Missouri town where his magnetic male presence delights his widowed mother, unnerves a maiden schoolteacher who boards with the family, and quickens the pulse of everyone he meets. Reluctant to resume his old job as an auto mechanic, Bus declines an apprenticeship with a homosexual undertaker and becomes a door-to-door peddler, sweeping bored housewives into his arms while whispering the praises of a new miracle cleaner. Next he lapses into adultery with his former steady (Ann-Margret), now married, of course, to "a wealthy older man." Since Ann-Margret...
