New York, NY Penguin Group: Plume Bks, 1997. Hardcover First Edition Thus [1997]; First Printing indicated by a complete number line. First Edition Thus [1997]; First Printing indicated by a complete number line. Very Good+ to Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: just a hint of wear to extremities; a small scuff at the heel of the backstrip; the pages have tanned somewhat, due to aging; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of ownership names, dates, inscriptions, stamps or labels. No longer pristine, but remains near perfect, without serious flaw. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8 x 5.25 x .5 inches). 223 pages. Shipping Weight: 7.4 oz. Trade Paperback. A swift, spellbinding tale of faith and politics that is plainly based on recent events in Haiti. Written with great speed and economy, but with a strikingly brooding atmosphere, the narrative hastens to an enigmatic and mournful conclusion. This is the best writing Moore has done in many years, and certainly bears comparison with that other 20th-century classic about Haiti, Graham Greene's The Comedians.
