Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. No Jacket. Special Edition. Advance Reading Copy of an Uncorrected Bound Galley in paperback. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine condition. "HEATHEN VALLEY, Romulus Linney's haunting and original novel, was born from the church histories of the Valle Crucis mission in western North Carolina. Told in four parts, it is a story set in an almost unknown valley, 'Heathen, a Valley That Forgot God.' With a quiet, muscular violence and biblical cadence that readers of Cormac McCarthy will recognize, Linney takes us into the 1850s, where an idealistic Bishop from New England and a life-whipped, sorrowful transient named Starns struggle to win souls and transform the valley. Widely reviewed when it was first published in 1962 , Romulus Linney's first novel, HEATHEN VALLEY, was never reprinted and has never before been in paperback." [publisher copy] "Linney has filled HEATHEN VALLEY with historical and botanical lore as well as psychological insight; throughout, the book shows a deep concern with the spiritual natures of men, with the qualities which reveal them at their best and their worst." Pristine paperback ARC w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.…
