Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition, 1st printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. "Operatically dramatic and intimately lyrical, grittily urban and impressionistically natural, the varied fictions in PAPER LANTERN all focus on the turmoil of love as only Dybek can portray it. An execution triggers the recollection of a theatrical romance. A social worker falls for his own client. Lovers part as giddily, perhaps as hopelessly, as a kid trying to hang on to a boisterous kite. A flaming laboratory evokes a steamy midnight drive across terrain both familiar and strange. And an eerily ringing phone becomes the telltale signature of a dark betrayal. Each story is marked with contagious desire, spontaneous revelation, and, ultimately, resigned courage. As one woman whispers when she sets a notebook filled with her sketches drifting out to sea, 'Someone will find you.' [] Some of Dybek's characters recur in these stories, while others appear only briefly. Throughout, they--and we--are confronted with vaguely familiar scents and images, reminiscent of love but strangely disconcerting, so that we might wonder whether we are looking in a mirror or down the barrel of a gun. 'After the ragged discharge,' Dybek writes, 'when the smoke has cleared, who will be left standing and who will be shattered into shards?' [] PAPER LANTERN brims with the intoxicating elixirs known to every love-struck, lovelorn heart, and it marks the magnificent return of one of America's most important fiction writers at the height of his powers." [jacket copy] "The nine stories gathered here have appeared, scattered across two decades, in the most prestigious American outlets for short fiction; they make for a remarkably unified and consistent collection . . . A very fine book from a gifted practitioner of the short story form."--Publisher's Weekly. "Here are bold, frankly erotic tales of transporting force--stories so sensual someone, somewhere, must be reading one aloud to a lover on a rumpled hotel bed."--John Freeman, The Boston Globe. "A true artist, Dybek summons up the wonder of the unexpected and the improbable, he achieves a low-key form of magical realism that places him in a constellation of writers that includes Joyce in Dubliners, Italo Calvino, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Chicago's own Leon Forrest."--Donna Seaman, Chicago Tribune. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, a NF intact jacket.
