About This Item
Athens, Georgia:: University of Georgia Press, 1988.. 1st Printing.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: brown cloth with black spine text; a Very Good book, with a Very Good dust jacket.. 8vo (about 8.75 inches tall) . Rust colored endpapers. Description: The panoramic drawing on the cover (a detail of which is used on the title page) is by Jim Chapman. Winner of the 1988 Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction. The author grew up in Texas. Following is taken from the publisher's blurb: ''In the cadence of a Texas drawl or the whisper of a midday kiss, these stories by Gail Galloway Adams capture untidy lives in which the pain of living is confounded with a grin. Planted anywhere from Georgia to Germany, the men and women Adams writes about search for the even row, the unchallenged claim, or the secret peace that will bring meaning into memory, shunt thoughts into place. Whether rippling with humor or shadowed by pain, the stories in this collection present people who take joy in giving, who themselves find magic in the telling of tales.''
