Fine in a Fine dustjacket. Blue boards quarterbound in mustard-yellow cloth. The spine is stamped in metallic blue. Octavo. Light brown endpapers. 241pps. An excellent, collector's-quality copy: clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. The text is immaculate; no reading wear and no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a new mylar sleeve, has a very slight crinkle at the heel of the spine; no chips, soiling, or tears. The original price is intact. The author's first novel. Cunningham went on to win the Pulitzer Prize and the Pen/Faulkner Award for 'The Hours.'
"...This spring David Stark will cross the boundary from youth to manhood. Like Huckleberry Finn's coming of age, David's passage captures, for one golden moment, a time (the 1980s), a place (Southern California), and a way of seeing the world that exemplifies America itself -- as it is now, as it is changing, and as it will become.
Here is the story of a man whose courage, wonder, and love for his family represent all of us at our best. Here is an American family that -- in its vulnerability and endurance -- is all our families. And here is a startlingly fine first novel that celebrates all that is good and interesting about this country and its people..."
