New York, NY: Holt, Rinehart And Winston. Near Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1980. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. First Edition (1980) , so stated. First Printing indicated by a complete numerical sequence. Very Near Fine in a Fine DJ: The Book shows some tiny stray marks at the bottom edge of the text block; the binding is ever so slightly cocked; the text is clean. Free of any creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. Free of ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, or labels. A handsome nearly-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing minor, unobtrusive imperfections. Bright and clean. Corners sharp. Very close to 'As New'. The DJ shows just a hint of wear to the head of the backstrip; else flawless; the price is unclipped; mylar-protected. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8.5 x 5.85 x 1 inches) . 219 pages. Language: English. Weight: 16 ounces. Hardback with DJ. Patricia Zelver has published novels, children's picture books and short stories which appeared in The Atlantic Monthly, Esquire, The Threepenny Review and numerous other literary magazines and anthologies. She received five O. Henry Prize Story awards. A Man of Middle Age & Twelve Stories was listed as an Editor's Choice in The New York Times Book Review. Patricia Zelver is such a clever writer. I was both entertained and moved by her work. Patricia Zelver's humor is like a kitten hiding behind the sofa waiting to dart out and take a couple of slaps and dash back in. Her stories make me do what I practically never do, laugh out loud. The stories in A Man of Middle Age are all distinctive, befitting a five-time winner of O. Henry Prize Story Awards. Patricia Zelver created Same Winkle, a man of middle age, with style and masterful economy in the title novella. It is a minor classic. Probably the best story in this collection is "Love Letters." It is remarkable in its portrayal of the family coming apart. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 219 pages .
