Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. First Edition, 1st printing. Edited and with an introduction by Elizabeth Strout. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in NEW condition. "A contemporary of Ann Beattie and Tobias Wolff, Frederick Busch was a master craftsman of the form; his subjects were sin…gle-event moments in so-called ordinary life. The stories in this volume, selected by Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout, are tales of families trying to heal their wounds, save their marriages, and rescue their children. In 'Ralph the Duck,' a security guard struggles to hang on to his marriage. In 'Name the Name,' a traveling teacher attends to students outside the school, including his own son, locked in a country jail. In Busch's work, we are reminded that we have no idea what goes on behind closed doors or in the mind of another. In the words of Raymond Carver, 'With astonishing felicity of detail, Busch presents us with a world where real things are at stake--and sometimes, as in the real world, everything is risked.' From his first volume, Hardwater Country (1974), to his most recent, Rescue Missions (2006), this volume selects thirty stories from an 'American master' (Dan Cryer, Newsday), showcasing a body of work that is sure to shape American fiction for generations to come." [jacket copy] "Busch once said that what he most enjoyed as a writer was 'knowing that I made someone see something in a different way.' It's hard to imagine any reader of these stories driving past a farmhouse in upstate New York--or anywhere--without seeing it another way, which is to say honoring the possibilities that lie inside, those aspects of life that are unsayable, otherwise unknowable."--Elizabeth Strout. "You can count on Busch's prose to be startlingly revelatory, and the brilliance of his sentences endures even out of context. This collection will make more people see Frederick Busch for the master he was, one whose talent for subtle impact was downright maximal."-- New York Times Book Review. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, quite presentable.
