About This Item
Boston and London: Faber & Faber, 1994. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. First printing. Review copy with publisher's material laid in. Fine in fine dust jacket. Hardcover. xxii+ 415 pp. Pieces by more than 40 writers are collected in this anthology of diverse reflections by notable literary exiles.
