Hardcover. New York, William Morrow, 1st, 1999, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 192 pages, SIGNED BY AUTHOR on title page. Spotless and tight, It's as if Raymond Carver were still alive and living in the Deep South. Or, imagine a world created by Jim Harrison and Cormac McCarthy and plunk it down in the woods of southern Alabama, where emotions run as raw as moonshine. Tom Franklin's eloquent deceptively simple prose evokes a world of hunting and fishing, shotgun shacks and trailer parks, poachers, and lawmen, factory workers, poor white trash, and bucket-o-'blood boozers. His stories are laced with naked violence, hot food, and the ever bitter sweat and tears of human relationships.

Hardcover. NY, Brentano's, 1st, 1924, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, Black cloth covers with faded gilt title. 126 pages with frontispiece illustration in 2-colors by Robert Locher. Introduction by Carl Van Vechten. Firbank's first book published in the United States, a novel of West Indian life and manners. It was the first of his works that wasn't entirely self-financed, and despite the miniscule print run, the book was given a lavish treatment by Brentano's, published with a generous introduction by Carl Van Vechten, who was intent on making Firbank's work better known in America. Understandably, the inflammatory title roused an outcry in the African American press, though Nancy Cunard wrote a defense of Firbank and his use of the name in the Associated Negro Press, and the novel received a surprisingly positive review by W.E.B. Du Bois. Light shelf wear.
