Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. Second printing, July 1977. 200pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Near Fine condition. (Erstwhile remainder has little red Random House stamp on tail pages, o/w unmarked.) "The novel opens moments before it happens. 'The marriage wasn't going well,' says Charlotte Emory, 'and I decided to leave my husband. I went to the bank to get cash for the trip.' And suddenly, amazingly, she is leaving, hustled out of the Maryland Safety Savings Bank by a total stranger, a strange young man in a slithery black nylon jacket ("'Anybody move and I'll kill her,' said the nylon jacket. It was me he meant"), rushed headlong through the streets, plunked down beside him on a bus pulling out of town. . . And as she leaves the place she has lived in 'all my life, thirty-five years, forever,' her voice draws us smoothly, familiarly, into her eccentric past. . . [] Now, suddenly, she is on the road, traveling with Jake Simms, Jr.--demolition derby driver, recent escapee from the Clarion County jail, 'victim of impulse.' And we are swept surely, matter-of-factly, exuberantly along with her, on her always anticipated journey and its altogether unexpected reshaping of her vision of the past and her image of the future." [jacket copy] "To read a novel by Anne Tyler is to fall in love."--People Magazine. "A taste of Anne Tyler, once acquired, is a splendid addiction."--John Leonard, The New York Times. "Anne Tyler, in her seventh novel, EARTHLY POSSESSIONS, continues to demonstrate a remarkable talent and, for a writer of her acuity, an unusual temperament. . . Small towns and pinched minds hold room enough for her; she is at peace in the semi-countrified, semi-plasticized northern-Southern America where she and her characters live. Out of this peace flow her unmistakable strengths--serene firm tone; her smoothly spun plots; her apparently inexhaustible access to the personalities of her imagining; her infectious delight in 'the smell of beautiful, everyday life'; her lack of any trace of intellectual or political condescension--and her one possible weakness: a tendency to leave the reader just where she found him."--The New Yorker. "This writer is not merely good, she is wickedly good."--John Updike. NF hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a Fine bright-as-new jacket, all quite presentable.…
