Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. Limited/Numbered Signed Edition. Slight loss to the ink of the front and spine titles. ; This is a compendium of 15 tiny essays, by 15 authors, written on the topic of "obsession." These were read aloud from the stage of the 1993 benefit gala for the PEN/Faulkner Literary Foundation, the money raised going to fund their awards for fiction. Each essay is preceded by a title page, signed in ink by its contributor, and the authors and their obsessions are as follows: Louis Begley: Brooms and sweeping; David Bradley: Obsession itself, but very jumbled thoughts about that; Robert Olen Butler: Karen Granger and her Mary Jane clad feet in the 1955 X-ray machine in the shoe store; Thomas Flanagan: The varying definitions of obsession in various dictionaries; Ernest Gaines: His buried ancestors on family land; Barry Hannah: Saying goodbye, especially in death; Maureen Howard: Secrets of life and the heart, in diaries; Jayne Ann Phillips: An impoverished, abused boy in her childhood; George Plimpton: Major pyrotechnics and fireworks; Francine Prose: The obsessions of obsessive people; Vikram Seth: Dwelling on the possibility of impending death; Mary Lee Settle: The process of falling in love; Ntozake Shange: One of her books' characters obsessing over her hair; Elizabeth Spencer: A mule trader, obsessed with mules; Scott Spencer: The application of the term "obsession" in popular culture. Includes a separate, original, silkscreened, polychrome print of a Bearded Iris, signed by the artist and printmaker Lou Stovall. His use of intense colors and his unique technique of creating thin, delicate lines is well-represented in this print. This tissue-guarded print is held inside the front cover by silk ribbons at the corners. Stovall's print is apt for this book, as he served on the board of the PEN/Faulkner literary foundation.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Fair dj. First Edition. [a good sound copy, but with visible wear and light bumping at most corners; the jacket has various small tears and chips at the edges, with extreme fading at the spine and along the right edge of the front panel, a long split at the top of the front flapfold and a shorter split at the bottom]. The uncommon second novel by this Mississippi-born author, following his gay-themed debut "The Bitterweed Path" (1950). This one, with a small-Southern-town setting, tells "about the clean and true love of a remarkable father for a fine and endearing son, and the frustrated, meaningless love of the boy's mother for a man who becomes in the end too much of a man for her" (whatever that means). There's also a race-relations angle, centered around the close friendship between the aforementioned son and an African-American boy. The author's career as a novelist more or less petered out by the mid-1950s; he subsequently went into politics, and later on had a minor career as a bit actor (including in several Robert Altman films) and sometime screenwriter. Illustrated by (dj design) Benjamin Feder (ilustrador).…
