About This Item
Stated First American Edition/First Printing with the complete number line; Fine in a Fine dust jacket with no visible flaws. SIGNED by the author on the title page. A pristine copy of this author's 2nd published work, this a collection of short stories; much harder to find than his first novel, particularly signed. Not remaindered, not price clipped, not ex-library; in archival protection.
The 12 gems in this collection are about oddballs and outcasts, Irish misfits all. These stories are peopled by such characters as an anorexic nun, a garrulous beautician who likes to prettify corpses, and the weathered boxing champ fond of stealing frilly feminine items. "Wistful and graceful, strong and sure, Colum McCann writes with skill and sadness and sparkling poetry".--Scott Veale, The New York Times Book Review.
