Recently Discovered Collection of Letters Explores the Lives of Two...

The Next Will Be Better by Fred Slivon and Frants Albert is an inspirational collection of letters between two college roommates whose correspondence portrays the depth of an enduring friendship. The collection includes a brief foreword by classmate, novelist and poet Ned Conquest.

Poet and printer Fred Slivon met architect Frants Albert while both were undergraduates at Princeton in the 1950s. Their friendship flourished with the rich and eloquent letters they wrote to each other. Separated by circumstances of life for more than five decades, the beginnings of their friendship were revealed when they discovered that each had kept a cache of the other's letters. Amazingly, the two are once again neighbors.

This is a captivating correspondence which mirrors some of the American experience of the 50s and 60s. In letter after letter, the authors struggle to discover their talents, even as they discuss the difficulties of youth, self-discovery, and love.

Riveting and profound, The Next Will Be Better offers a rare look over time into an uncommon and lifelong friendship.
