About This Item
O'Connor's shivery story set in the mid 20th century South that the celebrated artist, Benny Andrews, knew all too well. The two lived only thirty miles from one another, but worlds and worlds apart, in Georgia farm country. Why he chose this book, this author, he will tell you in his brilliant Afterword.
The white O'Connor flourished within the system. Andrews, a son of black sharecroppers, flourished in spite of it. Imagine. School, for him, was permitted only when it was too wet to work the fields. High school was a four-mile walk each way. With only determination, wit, desperation and genius he cobbled together scholarships for college.
His passion, vision and talent have earned a place for his art in all major New York museums, including the august Metropolitan Museum.
Six color etchings by Benny Andrews.
Edition limited to 300 numbered copies.
Each book signed by Benny Andrews.
Peter Pettengill made the plates and editioned the prints at his Wingate Studios in New Hampshire. Red Japanese linen, the color of Georgia clay, covers the hand-sewn, hand-bound books and the hinged and lined cases.
One volume, 17 x 22 inches.
