Alfred A. Knopf 1991 1st ed hardcover New York. 1991. March 1991. Knopf. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0394587529. 179 pages. hardcover. Jacket art is a portrait-'The Artist and His Mother', 1934, by Arshile Gorky. Jacket design by Archie Ferguson. keywords: Literature Essays America.
