"Though what follows is not a single essay, it is, I believe, continuous. My vision of existence is based almost entirely upon a prolonged scrutiny of West Texas and is probably too dry and flat...the attitude in the following pages belongs to me, not to my subject." - From the author's preface. WHALEY 38. Nice to have this classic in such fine condition as well as signed.
