signed first edition Hardcover
1983 · Oxford, Mississippi
by MORRIS, Willie
Oxford, Mississippi: Yoknapatawpha Press, 1983. Hardcover. Good/Fair. First edition. Boards and endpapers foxed, a good copy in a fair only dustwrapper. A scarce collection of short stories about sports and growing up in the South in the 1950s. Inscribed by the author: "Bridgehampton 1983. To my friend Michael - with much affection to my cousin at Christmas. Willie." The inscription is a little smudged. Curiously, this copy ended up in the library of Morris's close friend, the author James Jones. (Inventory #: 93700)
