(Barrytown), Station Hill Press, (1981). A small chapbook printing a single story. Davis is a 2003 MacArthur Fellow, as well as one of the mainstay writers of McSweeney's, perhaps the defining organ of the literary avant garde in this country at present. This is the issue in wrappers with beige end-papers and is very near fine. Apparently there was a (presumably very small) hardcover edition as well, which we have never seen. Station Hill has been one of the leading small presses for experimental fiction and literature in translation for a quarter century, and Davis -- whose novels and short fiction have received much praise -- has also been acclaimed for her translations of the poetry of Maurice Blanchot and Proust's Swann's Way.
