FROM THE PUBLISHER - Before she wrote her Pulitzer Prize-winning bestseller THE SHIPPING NEWS, E. Annie Proulx was already producing some of the finest short fiction in the country. Here are her collected stories, including two new works never before anthologized. These stories reverberate with rural tradition, the rites of nature, and the rituals of small-town life. The country is blue-collar New England; the characters are native families and the dispossessed working class, whose heritage is challenged by the neo-rural bourgeoisie from the city; and the themes are as elemental as the landscape: revenge, malice, greed, passion. Told with skill and profundity and crafted by a master storyteller, these are lean, tough tales of an extraordinary place and its people. inventory #35835 October 31, 1988' Penned On Front Free Endpaper,Otherwise Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket

ISBN10: 0684187175, ISBN13: 9780684187174, [publisher: Scribners, New York] Hardcover First Edition First edition, first printing , NY , 1988. A very good overall copy of this the author's first book. The book has one flaw as a result of what appears to be a soiling stain on the cover that has affected the same area of the dust jacket. The stain is approx. 3" by 3 " and is a series of spots on the boards of the book and the lower area of the front of the jacket. None the less if not for this stain the book is in fine clean bright condition interior is also fine and the jacket would be near fine. but alas, the pain of the stain. Still quite nice.
