In 1940, haunted by his own survival, John B. Thayer set down his searing memories of the S.S. Titanic's last moments as a tribute to his father, who had not survived the disaster. Presented with a new introduction by Lorin Stein, A Survivor's Tale gives an unforgettable firsthand account of an event that seemingly “symbolized the collapse of civilization.”
A Survivor's Tale: The Titanic is the fourth title in The Thornwillow Libretto Series, a publication of "little books" (the literal translation of the Italian word "libretto") designed to be a small beautiful space in which writers can make an enduring contribution to the timeline of American Literature.
