Sinopsis
Knockemstiff is a pitch-dark and often hilarious collection of stories set in the tiny Appalachian town of Knockemstiff, Ohio, a community so deprived and diminished it no longer appears on any map. The youth of Knockemstiff grow up in the malignant shadow of their parents; raised on abuse, alcohol, drugs and cigarettes, they are stunted in every possible way: emotionally, mentally, sometimes physically. They talk a lot about escape but they never so much as cross the county line. The stories in Knockemstiff are simple and compact, blunt and brutal, but are also infused with a deep sympathy for the incapacitating loneliness of poverty, neglect and severely limited horizons. Knockemstiff is a human, very funny and unforgettable debut from a stunning new voice in American fiction.

Hardcover. Condición: As New. 1st Edition. SIGNED on the title page. This wonderfully original UK hardback first edition was deliberately made to look 'tough'. And that's because the book is beautifully filled with refreshingly tough regional American writing. Pollock is a great writer, and this is his first book. The cover boards are thick and bare, and the titling and wording front and back are stamped on in thick black ink. Superb in every way. Signed by Author. Nº de ref. del artículo: ABE-1636719187311

Hardcover. Condición: As New. 1st Edition. My father showed me how to hurt a man one August night at the Torch Drive-in when I was seven years old. And that opening sentence is from this superb novel, which is SIGNED on the title page. Not only is this RARE it is also deliberately 'shabby' and decidedly uncouth. The rough cut thick cover boards are bashed deliberately, and the titling and text on the front and back boards are aggressively slapped on in thick black ink. This is a collectable and highly original edition, and it is much scarcer than the US first edition; especially as a SIGNED example. Signed by Author. Nº de ref. del artículo: ABE-1636717878272
