Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Illustrated by Lou Stovall (illustrator). Limited/Numbered Signed Edition. Slight loss to the ink of the front and spine titles. ; This is a compendium of 15 tiny essays, by 15 authors, written on the topic of "obsession." These were read aloud from the stage of the 1993 benefit gala for the PEN/Faulkner Literary Foundation, the money raised going to fund their awards for fiction. Each essay is preceded by a title page, signed in ink by its contributor, and the authors and their obsessions are as follows: Louis Begley: Brooms and sweeping; David Bradley: Obsession itself, but very jumbled thoughts about that; Robert Olen Butler: Karen Granger and her Mary Jane clad feet in the 1955 X-ray machine in the shoe store; Thomas Flanagan: The varying definitions of obsession in various dictionaries; Ernest Gaines: His buried ancestors on family land; Barry Hannah: Saying goodbye, especially in death; Maureen Howard: Secrets of life and the heart, in diaries; Jayne Ann Phillips: An impoverished, abused boy in her childhood; George Plimpton: Major pyrotechnics and fireworks; Francine Prose: The obsessions of obsessive people; Vikram Seth: Dwelling on the possibility of impending death; Mary Lee Settle: The process of falling in love; Ntozake Shange: One of her books' characters obsessing over her hair; Elizabeth Spencer: A mule trader, obsessed with mules; Scott Spencer: The application of the term "obsession" in popular culture. Includes a separate, original, silkscreened, polychrome print of a Bearded Iris, signed by the artist and printmaker Lou Stovall. His use of intense colors and his unique technique of creating thin, delicate lines is well-represented in this print. This tissue-guarded print is held inside the front cover by silk ribbons at the corners. Stovall's print is apt for this book, as he served on the board of the PEN/Faulkner literary foundation. This is copy 91 of a limited edition of 200 hardbound, slipcased copies. Printed on cream colored, mould made fine paper. This 8vo book is 8 3/4" x 6". Paginated [13],14-115,[blank],[1]. In light gray cloth over boards, the front cover with title embossed in black and the PEN logo blind stamped. The plain slipcase also in light gray cloth over boards. Published by esteemed booksellers Allen and Patricia Ahearn under their Quill & Brush imprint. Both book and slipcase are in clean, and in Near Fine condition.; Silk screen; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 117 pages; Signed by All Authors.
