NY, Dutton, 1998. Her sixth book, a novel, and a departure in its near-conformance to conventional narrative: it is in part a journal written from death row by a female professor who has murdered two of her students during sex. An unrelenting portrayal of the darkness of the cycle of human harm, told in incongruously luminous prose. Signed by the author. Fine in a fine dust jacket. [#012358] SOLD
