THE VIOLENT SEASON

Please see any and all photos connected with this listing. A bit scuffed but all pages intact and legible. Good reading copy. Clean. No store stamps. --- --- From Robert Graves: "Robert Goulet's obsessive hatred of the French-Canadian small-town atmosphere in which he was raised explodes here in a terrible blast. The sincerity is incontrovertible, the horrid details convincing—though I had hitherto thought this more typical of Protestant pietistic perversion than of Catholic. That English is obviously not his native tongue gives The Violent Season a distinct and persuasive flavour. Here is someone trying to get something important off his chest—to me the only valid excuse for a modern novel. There are no irrelevant patches in the story." . . .See photos for additional content. . .
