DAVID CHACKO - Price

London England, Victor Gollacz, 1974. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0575017864 Hardback Dan Price has grown up the hard way: a bastard who knows nothing of his father; a schoolboy who finds his mother lying dead on the floor of their home; a soldier who receives an Honourable Discharge after he has killed two of his own men and a court-martial has returned a verdict of justifiable homocide. When Dan's only living relative, Uncle Cyrus, dies, he leaves him a farm just outside the town of Bliss, Ohio. Dan decides to move in. The authors central concerns are greed and violence and relationships between generations; and his beautiful, sinister evocation of the mid-west connects the nature of a place to the nature of its people. Top corners of cloth very slightly bumped. Verys light shelf wear to top edge of D/J.
