Evanston, IL Northwestern University Press: Triquarterly, 1994. Paperback First Ed thus, so stated. First Ed thus, so stated. Very Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the mildest rubbing; binding square and secure; text clean. Virtually 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 147pp. University Press Paperback. Texas writer William Goyen's last novel, "Arcadio", a first-person account of a hermaphrodite's swan song, provides readers with a challenge every bit worth the effort.

Descripción de contraportada
Completed while he was dying, William Goyen's Arcadio is one of the most affecting and imaginative farewells to life ever written. Arcadio, whose voice is inimitably Goyenesque, is a creature from beyond the normal walks of life. Half man, half woman, raised in a whorehouse and for years the veteran exhibitionist in an itinerant circus sideshow, he has escaped from the show and has been wandering in a quest for his lost family. Speaking intimately to the reader, he tells the bizarre and fantastic tale of his life. This unforgettable novel is the crown of Goyen's exploration of the forms and feelings that could be compassed within fiction.
