Add to basketCondition: NEAR FINE. First printing. The author's fourth novel, the story of Bell, a history professor at a Midwestern university. "Mrs. Lundquist, the sexy wife of a famous sociologist and student of poverty, asks Bell to find her husband, who has disappeared. Bell agrees to try, and what follows is the narrative of his search…, his descent into the ghettos of Detroit via bland but sinister offices of the Jefferson Foundation (sponsor of the Nomad Project, a study of migrant workers), then into the land of the migrants themselves, in the mountains north of Roanoke, Virginia. There, after horrendous encounters with foundation smoothies, rednecks and nature in the raw, Bell finds the 'indestructible old nomad,' the feisty individualist Lundquist. Of course, he also finds himself." (NY Times) 332 pp. Dust jacket by Paul Bacon. Near fine in black cloth in a very good dustjacket (toning and some wear to the ends of the spine).

Shane's world is turned upside down when he is accused of a crime he didn't commit. Shane is determined to clear his name, but he quickly realizes that the only way to do that is to find the real perpetrator. Shane's journey takes him to the heart of the rural America of the 1970s, and to a confrontation with the secrets and power of his family and community.; 8vo; 332 pages.
