About this Item

This copy has been SIGNED by Bill Roorbach on the title page! "The Smallest Color" is Bill Roorbach's extraordinary first novel. Joyce Johnson, who knows the era so well, has remarked: "'The Smallest Color' is a gripping novel about the unhealed wounds and unfinished business of the sixties. It has the energy and pacing of a thriller - but Bill Roorbach's writing is notable for its warmth, its sensitivity to women, and its irresistible bad boy charm.".
