About This Item

New York, New York, U.S.A.: Harcourt, 1995. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/New. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Best known as the author of WILD AT HEART (the basis of the award-winning film by David Lynch), Barry Gifford also received the Premio Brancati, Italy's national book award for NIGHT PEOPLE. Shocked and confused by the violence and craziness of everyday life, Esquerita Reyna, also known as BABY CAT-FACE, is ill-prepared for the modern world, living in the shadow world of New Orleans, taking spooky side trips to Mississippi and North Carolina, she struggles with the specters of love, fundamentalist religion, and extra-terrestial activity, to name just a few. Among those adrift in the twisted universe of BABY CAT-FACE are characters with names like Daylight DuRapeau and Jewel Wasp, as well as the pre-WILD AT HEART Sailor and Lula. Mint, new, unread, first edition, first printing, in new, mylar-protected dust jacket. [Not remainder-marked or price-clipped) L149

Synopsis

From the author of Wild at Heart, a “wild, wacky, funny, well-written, and surreal” novel (Kansas City Star) about a woman struggling to make her way in “a New Orleans so feverishly peculiar that Anne Rice would feel at ease there” (Washington Post).

About Joe Staats, Bookseller

Modern Literature, Mysteries, and More!
We specialize in collectible, contemporary signed first editions. First edition means the first printing. (Later printings of the first edition are typically not printed on acid-free paper, and should be avoided by collectors.) Signatures are obtained by us in person. Inscribed books sold by us may contain a line, a phrase, or a sketch that the author has chosen to add. Our signed books are not dedicated to anybody in particular (not to your grandmother, your Aunt Gladys, your ex-lover or your former cellmate), except in the rare case of a presentation copy from an author to a noteworthy person. All our books are hardcover, unless the book is an Advance Reading Copy, Uncorrected Proof, or PBO. You can expect that the books we send you will be as described, and in a physical condition worthy of the author’s having signed them. We do not sell remainder-marked books, signed or otherwise
