About This Item
New York: Tom Doherty Associates, Inc., 1988. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. A stand-alone novel from this award-winning crime writer that, while it has crime genre elements also has more than a touch of science fiction and fantasy. It might be considered a contemporary fable. It begins in Oregon where a man named Guthrie decides to take a walk without knowing where he's going, or how far, or for how long. His only luggage is a small backpack. Wonderful things begin to happen as he walks and he begins to draw people to him, people who join the walk. There are problems to confront during the walk and decisions to be made. About Mark, for instance, who is a killer. A previous owner pasted the flaps of the dustjacket to the inside covers. However, the glue has dried out, releasing the flaps with no damage except light brown stains on the inside covers, the front end page, and the obverse side of the dj. O/w, text and boards are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered. The dj shows only a touch of surface and edgewear, no tears, no creasing or chipping, not price-clipped. A somewhat unusual work for Block.
