About This Item
New York, NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 1989 Alfred A. Knopf, New York. 1989. Hardcover. Stated First Edition. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Fine. DJ: Fine. Golden boards with black cloth overlay on spine with bright gold lettering on spine. 327 pp. The author went looking for an "ordinary" American town and found it in the fictional town of Bird, Kansas. Bird had the looks of the classic mid-American town and in its people the author discovered the town's true character, the complex reality that is "ordinary" America. The ups and downs and ins and outs of life in Bird reveal deeply familiar human dramas, yet in many ways they also show the special modern stresses of live in the 1980's. A clean pristine copy in Brodart mylar.
