Trade Paperback. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. Condition: 'NF' Notes: Collection of short stories by the award-winning author of The Pugilist at Rest.

Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. First Paperback Edition, 1st printing. 228pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine condition. "Following his celebrated debut collection, The Pugilist at Rest, Thom Jones delivers a lacerating collection of stories that plunges us once again into an edgy, overadrenalized world of desire, mania, and rage. In ten new stories, Jones introduces us to hard-luck fighters steeling themselves for battles they've already lost, doctors who fall in love with their illnesses, and a strung-out advertising writer who uses the hand of the Devil to do the work of God. At the end of the day, the only ones still standing have gone head-to-head with the world's brutality--and remain ready, hopelessly potent yet irreversibly doomed, to do battle all over again. Thom Jones has a wicked appetite for existential calamity and an unflagging humor in its presence; his writing is mesmerizing, sometimes fevered, and impossible to put down. COLD SNAP resoundingly confirms what thousands already know: Thom Jones is here to stay." [publisher copy] "Reading Thom Jones's fiction is like speeding in. an open car: the landscape blurs, the momentum becomes intoxicating. . ."--Joyce Carol Oates, New York Times. "In its linguistic exuberance. . . COLD SNAP is reminiscent of the works of Thomas Pynchon and Stanley Elkin. Like those fine stylists, Mr. Jones writes it all out. He takes risks and lets the words fly."--Washington Times. "COLD SNAP is immensely powerful. Few writers match Jones's energy, his mordant yet nuanced imagination, his assuredness. He has created a world that will remain in the reader's consciousness long after the work has been read."--Houston Chronicle. ". . . a storyteller and stylist who updates and extends the legacy of Hemingway."--New York Newsday. Pristine paperback w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.…
