The Passenger.
A Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. This is the story of a salvage diver, haunted by loss, afraid of the watery deep, pursued for a conspiracy beyond his understanding, and longing for a death he cannot reconcile with God. It blends the rowdy humor of some of McCarthy s early novels with the parched tone of his more apocalyptic later work.

A Fine tight copy in a Fine dust jacket.

Witty and poignantly human, Brown Dog underscores Harrison s place as one of America s most irrepressible writers. Handwriting: Poems.
