About This Item
Coffee House Press, 1990. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Near Fine. Inscribed on the title page: "For Isao, warmest regards, Karen Tea Yamashita, San Francisco, 1995." Uncommon signed. A paperback original, third printing. Her first book, a work of magical realism, humor, and satire based on 9 years living in Brazil and much lauded and scrutinized by contemporary ecocritics as a work that pushes the boundaries of environmental writing. As Publishers Weekly said of the book, "This satiric morality play about the destruction of the Amazon rain forest unfolds with a diversity and fecundity equal to its setting." Yamashita has since been a National Book Award finalist. Very good on account of a crease to lower corner of front wrap; otherwise near fine, pages tight and clean, seemingly unread. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
