Sobre este artículo
NY: Viking Press, 1958. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. First printing of the author's fourth book, very good with no dust jacket. Beige cloth spine with red lettering over red patterned paper covered boards. The cloth spine is somewhat discolored generally, perhaps due to a very light dampstain. One small pull to red paper on front board near the top left. Front hinge is slightly separated at title page. No names or other marking in or on the book, a square fairly tight copy of this classic in the Western fiction genre.
Sinopsis
Oakley Hall was born in 1920 in San Diego and grew up there and in Honolulu, where his mother moved after his parents’ divorce. After graduating from the University of California, Berkeley, Hall joined the Marine Corps and was stationed in the Pacific during the Second World War. Following the war, and with the aid of the GI Bill, he continued his studies in France, Switzerland, and England, returning to the US to receive an MFAin creative writing from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. Hall published his first book, Murder City , in 1949 and his most recent, Ambrose Bierce and the Ace of Shoots , in 2005. In between he wrote more than twenty works of fiction and nonfiction, including the novels The Downhill Racers, Separations , and Warlock , which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 1958; a libretto for the opera based on Wallace Stegner’s Angle of Repose ; and two guides to writing fiction. Hall was director of the writing program at the University of California, Irvine for twenty years and, in 1969, co-founded the Community of Writers at Squaw Valley, an annual writers’ conference. Among his many honors are lifetime achievment awards from thePEN Center USA and the Cowboy Hall of Fame. Oakley Hall lives in San Francisco. Robert Stone was born in Brooklyn in 1937. He is the author of seven novels: A Hall of Mirrors, the National Book Award–winning Dog Soldiers, A Flag for Sunrise, Children of Light, Outerbridge Reach, Damascus Gate, and Bay of Souls . He has also written short stories, essays, and screenplays, and published a short story collection, Bear and His Daughter , which was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. He lives in New York City and in Key West, Florida.
