"Dean Candell's educational opportunities, in matters of the heart, were unusual in the extreme. His two principal instructors, Ethel and Verna, pursued their task, sometimes willingly and sometimes not, under remarkably varied and changing circumstances. Beginning as high-school girls and continuing as wives and mothers, they managed between them to create the episodes of tragedy and comedy -- or so it seemed to Dean -- th... View more info

Not really the "source novel" for the movie of the same name, but a sort of novelization (which actually appeared a year before the movie) -- perhaps, more accurately, a kind of alternate telling, "based in part on material created by Frank R. Pierson" (the film's screenwriter, who in turned based his work on an article about an actual bank robbery-cum-media event. View more info

[nice clean copy, very slight indentation in bottom page edges (affecting about 3 pages); jacket lightly soiled/rubbed, one small closed tear at top edge of rear panel]. Who was "Hilary March"? This is apparently her only published book (unless she wrote a 1927 novel called "Wet Weather"), and when anyone writes a single novel which focuses rather intensely on the personal psychodrama of a protagonist of the same gender, a reader's speculations (OK, mine) inevitably trend to the autobiographical. Add to that a complete absence of any biographical cover blurb (at least in thi... View more info

Novel (the author's first) about "an eager and idealistic young intern, about to bring his new skills and dreams of healing to Boston's famous St. Anne's Hospital, and to the most vulnerable of all patients: newborn babies -- some very sick, some dying, some not weighing more than a pound."

[book is tight and clean, as new with no significant wear; jacket shows the tiniest trace of surface handling wear, if you're the picky type]. A somewhat "experimental" novel (if people still use such a term), a kind of tour-of-consciousness through a dying woman's mind. Aside from husbands and lovers, the voices of her "literary loves" (Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot, Vladimir Nabokov, Samuel Beckett, and others) are heard as well, along with "the voices of her parents, who survived the Treblinka death camp, and of her Aunt Sophie, who did not."

"A macabre, funny, and page-turning tale in the finest southern tradition." (Sounds like it might be a good companion piece to Harry Crews's "Car.") View more info
