Throughout these stories, one hears echoes of Flannery O'Connor and Eudora Welty, but Ms. Gilchrist has her own unique literary voice -- and it is outrageously funny, moving, tragic, and always appealing.\n\n\"Ellen Gilchrist is terrific.\" --Norman Mailer\n\n\"This book is a delight.\" --Cleveland Plain Dealer\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0316313076\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0316313076.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Gilchrist, Ellen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
