There is a slight bump to the bottom of the textblock and a faint pencil-erasure of price in the upper corner of a preliminary page. Otherwise clean, bright, square, and soundly bound.

The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, is mildly rubbed at the extremities and has a 1 1/2" closed tear with an attendant diagonal crease at the bottom of the front panel; the original price (4.95) is intact. A very nice, collector's-quality copy of the author's third book. ".Here are stories that are intense, ironic, sinister, and violent, reflecting incisively the mores of a frightening world -- a world in which love is complex and difficult, in which evil is ordinary, in which senseless actions lead to even more senseless non sequiturs, in which religion becomes antiseptic, in which families and societies exploit one another.in which the enemy is imagined to be external, but is, in reality, within."
