Synopsis

Very clean first edition in clean unclipped dust jacket. Pale gray boards with white lettering on spine. Nice sharp unworn corners, slight bumping to spine ends. Binding is tight and square, hinges are sound - no cracking. Pages and edges are clean and bright with clean endpapers - no names, writing or marks. 142 pages. Clean dust jacket is unchipped, no tears, not price clipped, vertical creasing to front inside flap. Enclosed in new archival quality removable mylar cover. Author's first full-length novel is an unusual, captivating exporation into the life of a single man. Written in the form used by the classic Japanese writer Sei Shonagon in her "Pillow Book"--short, essayistic stories or tales woven around a central moral--this landscape is the self-portrait of a man who, often swept away by passion in his youth, approaches his later years with increasing distance and an almost Zen-like tranquility.
