Hardback. Zustand: Fair. The funny, wise, and wonderful (USA Today) book of short stories that won the National Book Award and established Ellen Gilchrist as a leading writer of the American South.

Throughout these stories, one hears echoes of Flannery O'Connor and Eudora Welty, but Ms. Gilchrist has her own unique literary voice -- and it is outrageously funny, moving, tragic, and always appealing. Ellen Gilchrist is terrific. --Norman MailerThis book is a delight. --Cleveland Plain Dealer.…
