Garden City, Doubleday/Dial, 1985. Signed by the author. A collection of stories, published with a first printing of 6000 copies and winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award, the first major national award Taylor's fiction had earned in nearly four decades of writing, during which time his reputation among writers was exalted but his popular recognition was largely limited to the South. Taylor's next book, the novel A Summons to Memphis, won the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Trace spotting to top edge; else fine in a fine dust jacket. [#033490] SOLD
