Hardback. Zustand: Good. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award. New Directions is excited to reissue the Gardner classics, beginning with October Light, a complex relationship rendered in a down-to-earth narrative.October Light is one of John Gardner's masterworks. The penniless widow of a once-wealthy dentist, Sally Abbot now lives in the Vermont farmhouse of her older brother, 72-year-old James Page. Polar opposites in nearly every way, their clash of values turns a bitter corner when the exacting and resolute James takes a shotgun to his sister's color television set. After he locks Sally up in her room with the trashy blockbuster novel that has consumed her (and only apples to eat), the novel-within-the-novel becomes an echo chamber providing glimpses into the history of the family that spawned these bizarre, sad, and stubborn people. Gardner uses the turbulent siblings as a stepping-off point from which he expands upon the lives of their extended families, and the rural community that surrounds them. He also engages larger issues of how liberals and conservatives define themselves, and considers those moments when life transcends all their arguments.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Fourth Printing, February 1977. Bright, clean & tight copy, gently read, in Near Fine condition. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in for 1976. Illustrated by Elaine Raphael & Don Bolognese. "In his rich new novel, John Gardner fuses the traditional American pastoral elements of Nickel Mountain with the philosophical complexity of The Sunlight Dialogues and The King's Indian to explore in new ways the nobility and foolishness, the tortured innocence and stubborn, often ill-considered courage of the American character as it has endured for at least two centuries. With a partisan yet critical eye he traces human lives and relationships, old values and new, in a story at once allegorical---a family revolution---and poignantly realistic, deeply rooted in a real time and place but also hopelessly, tragically, bound to the past." [jacket copy] Erstwhile remainder has little red Random House stamp on pages tail-end, crisp deckle edges, a square & tight binding, & a bright, intact dust jacket.
