About This Item
Little, Brown & Company, Boston: Toronto, 1983. Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. As new first edition/first printing quarter bound in black cloth over blue boards with a like priced (13.95) jacket, is a fast paced fun read about a Midwestern underachiever Anthony Thrasher who got his eight grade teacher in trouble. With his familiar offhand elegance, the author spins us a ribald tale that in the wrong hands might have gone amiss as a sensitive study of hearts at bay, or worse, yet another tenderly perceptive portrayal of a young man's coming of age. No worry, Tony becomes wise for his years overnight though it is a few months before Miss Maggie Doubloon realizes her life long wish not to look like a school teacher. The action moves from North Dakota to Kalamazoo ( my home town). An exceptionally fine book by an exceptional author.
