Stated First Edition, clean & tight copy, appears unread, in Near Fine condition. "A poignant, affecting, beautifully presented series of stories about Americans voluntarily or involuntarily alone, or cut off, or isolated, or by themselves, or especially vulnerable, hence living in a world apart. In a modest and gentle way this book offers much perspective on contemporary, secular America--and a good deal of wisdom about life, its meaning as some of us try to find it in various places and sets of circumstances."--Robert Coles. "This is an important book. Sue Halpern has moved over a line which has inhibited journalists into a territory where one takes a cool look at things which are burning hot. And in the heat of feeling deeply she is tactful, and is thus able to consider what tact is. How different this is from the sad work of writers who profit from the excitement of the kill."--George Trow. "An exploration of a series of characters and situations and their common theme of privacy, arrived at so variously and in each case, of course, as originally as all truly private things are. Indeed, originality, the meaning of it, is part of her subject, and her approach to it is compassionate, rounded, and lucidly conveyed, and a delight to read."--W.S. Merwin. Clean but slightly musty copy, w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, a square & tight binding & slight foxing to head/tail of pages, wrapped in an intact, clean NF jacket (price-clipped) o/w all unmarked, fine & quite presentable. …
