About This Item
New York, NY Knopf, 1978. Hardcover First Ed, so stated. First Ed, so stated. Very Good in Very Good DJ: Both book and DJ show indications of moderate use; some very faint foxing to both. Book shows light wear to extremities; slight spine lean; faint rubbing and soiling; binding remains secure; text clean. DJ shows similar rubbing and soiling; price intact. Remains a clean, sturdy, presentable copy. NOT a Remainder. NOT a Book-Club Edition. NOT an Ex-Library copy. 8vo. 337pp. Hardback with DJ. The San Andreas Fault is both a real and a metaphorical player in this novel of northern California in the early 70s. Set on a ranch near Monterey Bay, it explores relationships in a family jarred by the return of a son from Vietnam, almost whole but shaken and confused. His return coincides with a series of bizarre killings that panic the community--a reminder that in the legendary land of promise abundant possibilities and agents of destruction live side by side.
