Paperback. Condition: USED_VERYGOOD. (NYRB Classics). The cantankerous & charming, Ebenezer Le Page is one of the most compe lling literary creations of the late 20th century. Eighty years-old, he has lived his whole life on the Channel Island of Guernsey, a stone speck of a place caught between the coasts of England and France yet a world apart from either. The book is a beautifully detailed chronicle of a life, but it is equally an oblique reckoning with the traumas of the 20th century, as Ebenezer recalls both the men lost to the Grat War and the German Occupation of Guernsey during WWII, and looks with despair at the encroachments of commerce and tourism on his beloved island. Glossary. 400p.
