String Too Short to Be Saved by Donald Hall is a poignant memoir capturing summers spent on a New England farm during the author's boyhood.

Through vivid prose, the book traces the passage of time as the farm and family evolve, marking the end of a cherished era.
This edition includes an epilogue written by Hall twenty-five years later, describing his return to the farm to spend the rest of his life in the house of string. The book is printed on acid-free paper, sewn in signatures, ensuring durability and longevity. Featuring a cover photo by Philip Govednik and a portrait of the author by Jack Driscoll, it offers a nostalgic glimpse into a fading rural culture.
