Complete Fiction of W. M. Spackman: Collected Novels and Stories (American Literature Series) - Softcover
Synopsis
Described by Stanley Elkin as "this country's best-kept literary secret" and "a lost American classic," W. M. Spackman is one of the finest writers of the twentieth century. This omnibus edition includes all five of the author's previously published novels: Heyday (and here presented with revisions the author made shortly before his death); and the critically acclaimed novels published between 1978 and 1985: An Armful of Warm Girl (1978), A Presence with Secrets (1980), A Difference of Design (1983), and A Little Decorum, for Once (1985). The novel As I Sauntered Out, One Midcentury Morning is published here for the first time, as well as the author's only two short stories.

Review
"A wonderful collection by an underappreciated writer, this has a place in all fiction collections." -- Library Journal "Literary connoisseurs will appreciate this omnibus edition of the novels of a very special fiction writer. Spackman (1905-90), an American, is known by serious readers as a great stylist, a quality prominently displayed in this gathering of his five published novels and one unpublished and two short stories. Elegant, witty, and urbane, Spackman's fiction presents achingly beautiful and never less than scintillating depictions of the psychology of love and sexual attraction. These novels and stories are to be read for the entertainment value of their story lines, but more than that, for the breathtaking experiencing of exquisite language." -- Brad Hooper
