About This Item
New York: Viking Press, 1984. First Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. This book ".is the season's marvelous novel. Purdy captures the heat, maze, dusty flatness, and creaky Victrola of a beer-and-velour front parlor with its Mission furniture in the Midwest Depression of the early 1930s. Purdy's special genius lies in his uncanny ability to get beneath the surfaces of his remarkable characters in order to narrate their true stories.Like Chekhov's, Purdy's great talent lies in exposing the secret scenario of all our lives."--Barbara Probst Solomon. A very attractive book protected in a plastic sleeve. Keywords: PURDY FONTHILL MIDWEST DEPRESSION MANNERS MORALS SOCIAL LIFE
