About this ebook
The critics have been effusive in their praise for Richard Bausch's Good Evening Mr. and Mrs. America and All the Ships at Sea.His hardover sales have also never been higher.Taking its title from Walter Winchell's famous radio salutation, Good Evening Mr. and Mrs. America opens in Washington, DC, in 1964, just after the Kennedy assassination, telling the story of Walter Marshall, an idealistic 19-year-old who lives with his widowed mother and studies to be a journalist like his hero, Edward R. Murrow. In this coming-of-age novel in the truest sense of the phrase, young Marshall fumbles toward manhood in a nation that is itself in the midst of cataclysmic change.
With the same elegance and precision that has distinguished his other novels, Richard Bausch has evoked a sense of time and place in a different America and brings the last 30 years of history profoundly and vividly to life.

Reviews for Good Evening Mr. and Mrs. America, and All the Ships at Sea
7 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5An interesting novel about a group of young people a year after the assassination of J.F.K. The story particularly focuses on one young man in broadcasting school, who has visions of himself arising in the future as the next Kennedy-like president. A little corny at times, but this is more a reflection of the morals of the times rather than the writing itself.
