Searches and Seizures: Three Novellas
by: Stanley Elkin

Softcover. Boston, A Nonpareil Book, reprint, 1973, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 304 pages. Three novellas filled with humor and insight by one of America's modern literary masters. In Searches & Seizures, Elkin tells the story of the criminal, the lovelorn, and the grieving, each searching desperately for fulfillment - while on the verge of receiving much more than they bargained for. Infused with Elkin's signature wit and richly drawn characters, "The Bailbondsman," "The Making of Ashenden," and "The Condominium" are the creations of a literary virtuoso at the pinnacle of his craft. Mild soil, no markings.
