About This Item
New York, NY Ballantine: Fawcett Crest, 1989. Paperback First Edition Thus [1989], so stated. First Edition Thus [1989], so stated. Near Fine in Wraps: shows only minor indications of light use. Book shows short tear in rear panel near rear hinge and affecting the last few pages of the book; nevertheless, binding square and secure; text clean. Remains clean, sturdy, and quite presentable, but not longer quite 'As New'. NOT a Remainder. Not a Book-Club Edition. NOT an Ex-Library copy. 12mo. 194pp. Mass Market Paperback. Mukherjee's central preoccupation is the problematical nature of personal encounters between East and West. These expertly crafted tales all turn on recent Third World immigrant experience in or closely affected by North America. Mukherjee's keen eye for telling and sensuous detail make these stories rewarding. Her limpid prose has a capacity to surprise with trenchant wit and delight with finely calibrated lyricism.
