From the bestselling author, Russell Banks, Foregone is a novel about memory, abandonment, and betrayal. Canadian American leftist documentary filmmaker Leonard Fife fled to Canada to avoid serving in the Vietnam war and now, in his late seventies, dying of cancer, he has agreed to do one final interview baring all his secrets. Filmed by his ex-star student, Malcolm MacLeod, and witnessed by his wife Malcolm’s producer, cinematographer, and sound technician, all of whom have long admired Fife, they must all now come to terms with his astonishing and dark confessions.
