Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. FIRST PRINTING. The now-deceased, critically acclaimed, bestselling author's debut book. 14 short stories. "With a rococco flair for mischief and sheer nonsense, Miss Colwin ambushes the arrogant, liberates the faint-hearted, and pays the wicked due and just respect. There are heart-crackers in this collection, too; and Laurie Colwin has invented a dove-gray heroine-sometimes called Mary Leibnitz, sometimes Elizabeth Bayard-whose passion for order, civility, and repose does ceaseless battle with her unruly loves and high-keyed sensibilities. Passion and Affect marks the debut of a writer whose talents as a humorist are as American as Ring Lardner's, and whose stance as a moralist falls squarely in the grand European tradition". 179 pages. Price sticker residue on inside dustjacket front has left corresponding mark on opposite endpaper. Sans rips/tears and other prominent flaws. MYLAR COVER PROTECTED. LF. Seller Inventory # 001972
