About This Item
Houghton Mifflin. 1990. Hardcover. Collectible - Like New. Hardcover, like new; signed by the author on title page; with dust jacket. Review: Through such characters as a miner with black lung disease, a train engineer whose wife has taken her own life, a robber, and a well-meaning e ccentric turned circus clown, Currey evokes the loneliness and despair of h is native West Virginia during the Depression. These six short stories and a novella are lyrically and powerfully written, flavored with "the worn sme ll of work and old oil and coal dust." Recommended for readers who apprecia te strong characterization and imagery without graphic sex and violence. Cu rrey is the author of prize-winning short stories and of a novel, Fatal Lig ht. .
