hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. South Royalton. 1997. Steerforth Press. 1st Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 1883642329. 1st Novel. 200 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Louise Fili. Jacket illustration by Viktor Koen. keywords: American Literature Mystery. DESCRIPTION - A demographer visiting La Crosse, Wisconsin outlines his theory of migration: small cities are defined as much by those who leave them as by who remains behind. The beautiful and the talented and ambitious pack up as soon - those who stay on populate The This dark and hilarious first novel might be called a parody if the reader did not come to care so deeply about Rick Harsch's astonishing gallery of characters. Spleen, the novel's hero (a man about as decisive as Hamlet), falls in love with The Sneering Brunette and is pulled into an intrigue that involves a psychotic hit man who eats live pigeons, a snitch named The Fag With No Eyebrows, a reformed snitch named Billy VeritE, and two crooked policemen, Stratton and his partner, the black undercover cop in the white city. The plot that unfolds is a dance with the absurd, its wisdom coming from B-movie actors and philosophical taxi drivers, all written with a love and affection for a people and a side of town that are hopelessly without either. This debut work, an homage to Raymond Chandler, to film-director Nicholas Ray (who was born in La Crosse), and to film noir, is written in a language that is at once playful, intelligent, and startling in its originality. inventory #24013.
