About This Item
Santa Barbara: Black Sparrow Press, 1979. Limited Edition. Octavo. Limited edition of 300 copies numbered and signed by the author. The present copy is #185. (There was also a deluxe edition of only 50 copies) 204(2) pp. A savage and haunting story, as with most of Oates' best works. A relentless look at the cycle of sexual abuse whose horror stems from the protagonist's easy relatability; like the scariest abusers, he could easily be the socially awkward guy next door. A fine copy bound in 1/4 white cloth over decorative paper covered boards lettered and decorated in black, red, mustard and maroon paper spine label and in original clear acetate jacket. Very nice.
