1st Edition. Paperbound about 6 inches tall by 4 inches wide 65 pages. Description: Frontis illustration by Derek Boshier (who was art professor at the University of Houston. at the time.) From the flap blurb by Phillip Lopate: ''Wolde Ayele is a young Ethiopian architect; this visitor to our planet has written an urban meditation unlike any I know, capturing all the émigré ache and wonderment in a prose style that is as idiosyncratic as it is ordained. Ayele's descriptions of Houston come closer to uncovering the heart of that covert, lyrical cit than anyone writing today.'' The publisher here, Hothouse, was a University of Houston-sponsored publishing house headed up by Phillip Lopate. (Mirage was, in fact, Hothouse's only title.) BINDING/CONDITION: a small, trim book with French flaps, Fine condition. ISBN: 0-9616939-0-8. Seller Inventory # 061916
