Octavo, cloth-backed boards. First edition. The author's scarce second novel, a dark suspense thriller set in Ontarion, an imaginary small town in Iowa. In the mid-1970s, American novelist David Rhodes (b. 1946) published three acclaimed novels in quick succession ending with ROCK ISLAND LINE (1975). A motorcycle accident in 1977 left him paralyzed and he didn't publish again for three decades. In 2008 Rhodes published DRIFTLESS, a novel that "recreates the human condition as a condition of Wisconsin life, Words, Wisconsin to be specific, an imaginary hamlet off the map in the southwestern portion of Wisconsin, the regions known in geological terms as the driftless zone." - Alan Cheuse. His most recent novel is JEWELWEED (2013). Tiny BTP sticker on the front paste-down, else a fine copy in fine dust jacket with mild vertical crease in fore-edge of front flap. This book is hard to find in nice condition. (#161343).

Review
"Rhodes's writing is smooth and wry, combining Richard Russo's genius for the details of small-town thinking and Flannery O'Connor's flair for shading things toward the weird side of normal. If there was any justice in the literary world, its shocking end alone would make it an American classic. If you liked Driftless, do yourself a favor and read The Easter House."
—Mpls.St.Paul Magazine
