Columbia; University of Missouri Press, (1964)
by Garrett, George.
Columbia; University of Missouri Press, (1964). Octavo, green illus. cloth (hardcover), 206 pp. Very Good+, with light soiling to page edges; in a Fair+, mylar protected dust jacket with edgewear that includes chipping. From dust jacket: The quandaries that underlie every human crisis, whether that crisis is quietly resolved or violently expressed, are George Garrett’s special concern. In these stories which range in mood from hilarious to grim he reveals, with a compassion that enlists the reader’s understanding and sympathy, the ongoing, crucial debate within each of his characters. These are entertaining stories, well told -- so varied in matter, manner, and setting they might be the work of different authors except for the constants of Garrett’s skill and his respect for the essential nature of his characters...
