Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Linden Press / Simon and Schuster, New York. 1990. Hardcover. First Printing by Line Number. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Near Fine; slight bumping to head and tail; scant shelfwear to tips. DJ: Very Good +; NOT Price Clipped ($19.95); light edge bumping; light rubbing to panels. Beige paper over boards with white cloth overlay on the spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. 219 pp 8vo. This is the author's second collection of short fiction. The epigraph for this collection of ten stories is a brief quotation from Keats--"Happy love, more happy, happy love." Bausch does indeed portray the joys of marriage and family life, but he also reveals the pain lurking just below the surface. In "Wedlock" the levity of a honeymoon night suddenly turns mean. In "Equity" three adult daughters must cope with a senile mother who previously supported them through divorces, nervous breakdowns, and other crises. Most of the stories have contemporary urban settings, but "Old West" is a retelling of the Shane story that takes away all of the legendary gunfighter's heroism. A clean very presentable copy.
