Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Near Fine condition; erstwhile remainder (red line on text head) o/w unmarked. "It is the nature of our language that it inspires the means of its renewal. Or it might be said that it is in the nature of the American experience for this to happen, that the places of this nation--the towns, the cities, the emerging mindscapes in them--remake ordinary speech, passing into it properties that form our only shared poetry. But it is a poetry we never share more than locally until someone proves able to write it down. First and foremost, this is what Mark Richard uniquely is: a listener who writes it down, a listener who--like Whitman--listens with his heart and gives license to himself to write down what only the heart will have the genius to hear. It goes without saying that the ten violently wonderful stories that make up this stupendously special debut will pass into our literature as instances of exceptionally lavish renewal. . . That it made itself known to him, this authentic human language--by reason of a life sometimes lived on an army base outside Manhattan, Kansas, or aboard trawlers, packet boats, and smugglers running on the coast from Norfolk to Cape May, or in the keep of a North Carolina jail--is Mark Richard's great gift as an American who has never been unwilling to live all the way down into America. The account he so audaciously gives of this not undangerous adventure--in THE ICE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WORLD--comes to a national readership as an unexampled pleasure and as a very considerable literary benefaction. Here is a book to conjure with." [jacket copy] "In these ten stories, Mark Richard emerges as the heir apparent to Mark Twain, Flannery O'Connor, and William Faulkner. . . In sharply detailed stories presented without excuse or judgment, and often with a sharp bite of humor, Richard offers creditable characters in the middle of their singular lives. Though full of peculiarly Southern connections, these stories transcend Southern particularity. They are about universals: love and loss and birth and death."--Library Journal.
