Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition/First Printing. This is a copy of the 1988 John Simmons Short Story Award Winner. Selected by Robert Stone who says "Michael Pritchett's haunting and austere stories linger a long time in the mind. His characters seem seem to be exploring their way through a world of clues and secrets and his writing has such persuasive force that the reader shares in their explorations, coming to understanding as they do. His style is strong and unpretentious, often capable of real unforced poetry. His images seem compounded naturally out of the weather of his people's lives.". Seller Inventory # 7342
