Book Description Cloth. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First Edition. Pristine. New York: The Ecco Press. 1994. First Edition, stated. Octavo, 133 pp. One of just 7500 printed for the first edition. As New, in like jacket. Flawless and unread, sealed and laid flat since acquisition, Very Fine. See scans. An example for the collector. A play in five acts by the enigmatic author of The Crossing and winner of the National Book Award. The Stonemason is the story of several generations of a black family of stonemasons in Kentucky. A line from Act 3, Scene 1, quoted on the jacket back flap: "The reason the stonemason's trade remains esoteric above all others is that the foundation and hearth are the soul of human society and it is that soul that the false mason threatens. So. It's not the mortar that holds the work together. What holds the stone trues the wall as well and I've seen him check his four-foot wooden level with a plumb bob and then break the level over the wall and call for a new one. Not in anger, but only to safeguard the true. To safeguard it everywhere. He says that to a man who's never laid a stone that there's nothing you can tell him. Even the truth would be wrong." L13n.
