Black cloth spine, yellow boards, gilt lettering to spine. Completely clean and unmarked; tight, solid, square with sharp corners. Internals as new. Unclipped glossy, bright jacket. Debut book of Richard Stengal, a writer and reporter who take us beneath the deceptively calm surface of a small South African town--Brits, South Africa, a small community located amidst the checkerboard farms in western Transvaal. He tells the story of the town over the course of one day, through the lives of three men, one white, one black, one Indian. He uses three acts', as in a theatre, of morning, afternoon, and evening, moving from character to character, whose lives never meet. He provides a most intimate portrait of South Africa. 202 pages. 6.25 x 9.5 inches. 1990. Simon & Schuster, New York
