In The Attic Curtis Harnack returns to the past he began to explore in his first memoir, We Have All Gone Away, exploring the enduring legacies of home, family, and community in the farming community of Remsen, Iowa.
“Harnack’s examination of decades of memorabilia reveals that the familiar, layered past was more complex than he thought: the quiet Iowa farm concealed unsuspected passions, sorrows, and triumphs.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review
“I must call attention to this moving, brilliant memoir . . . one of the best autobiographies written in the last two decades.”—Irving Malin

Author of three novels, a collection of short fiction, two memoirs, a history, and poetry, he is a graduate of Grinnell and Columbia and has taught at Grinnell, the University of iowa Writers’ Workshop, Sarah Lawrence, and Williams.
