Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Original printed wraps. 260 pp. Octavo. `Leon Rooke's novels are wondrous enough for anyone's taste, but his stories are wondrous strange. In the last two decades his literally hundreds of stories have made him into one of the very few writers the rest of us have to read in order to know what the short story form can and cannot do, for he works way out there in terra incognita mapping limits. Beyond this, he can break your heart in half all at once, like a kindly assassin, or chop it to bits with a dozen swift, sure strokes. He's a writer with a black belt in portraying the small daily tragedies that break bones and leave no visible wounds. It's when he's funny, however, which he often is, that he's most dangerous. Like Stanley Elkin and Donald Barthelme, he's a writer with a voice so sharp and personal that he changes your life while you're busy laughing at it.’ Printed offset by Tim Inkster on the Heidelberg KORD at the printing office of the Porcupine's Quill in the Village of Erin, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada. Smyth sewn into 16-page signatures.
