About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1979. First American Edition. First American edition. Measuring approximately 8.5" x 6" with 210 numbered pages.
This book is in very good condition. Moderate bumping to both ends of spine. Minor bumping to all edges of boards. Previous owner's name on front endpaper. Lacking front endpaper. Interior pages are bright and clean.
The collection of short stories revolves around protagonist Rose. The collection has been labelled by some critics as a novel, as the same characters and similar themes recur throughout the book, but there is no formal cohesiveness in plot. Each story explores an idea, and is not bound by a particular time, place, setting, or narrative voice.
Please view the many other rare titles available for purchase at our store. We are always interested in purchasing individual or collections of fine books.
