Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1978. First edition. 136pp. Octavo; black textured-paper boards; silver spine titles; dust jacket. Light bump to heel of spine; faint foxing to textblock edges (quite innocuous). Else near fine in a near fine jacket with a three short closed tears to head of front panel, a touch of rubbing to rear. Nice copy of the second collection of short stories by American writer Russell Banks (1940-2023); one of his scarcest titles in the trade.
