Sobre este artículo
New York: Random House, 1977. First edition. Hardcover. A near fine tight copy (ownership signature to verso of last page) with remainder mark (the Random 'house'), in a near fine, clean dust jacket with a closed tear to the top of the rear panel. This copy is inscribed by Foote on the front endpaper, "For / Michael Hargraves / displaced in Frisco / from / Shelby Foote / Memphis Nov 1982." In this novel, a magisterial historian of the Civil War charts its distant repercussions in the streets of the contemporary South. By turns wryly comic, ribald, and chilling, a convincing thriller and a powerful tragicomedy of race.
