Davy

Collier Nucleus / Macmillan, 1990. Soft cover. As New. Paul Lehr. First Collier paperback edition/printing with new cover art. As New, unread condition from the original publisher's warehouse! Just missed winning the 1965 Hugo Award for Best Novel. "The initial Post-Holocaust sequence is set in a USA devastated by a nuclear Holocaust, whose immediate consequences dominate - at times harshly - the first volumes. By the time of Davy's birth, 250 years later, the land has long been balkanized into Ruined-Earth feudal enclaves, rather romantically conceived, and Davy's picaresque adventures (which he recounts in retirement) generate what might be called a kind of nostalgia for a livable future, though at the same time it is clear that Davy, and those he inspires, will necessarily begin to rebuild a more complex world."
