NY, Dutton, (1986). A collection of stories. Inscribed by McGuane to Susan Minot: "Dear Susan, This seems sort of inflated after Monkeys, the pen in my hand on the jacket photo is, I don't know.../ Tom." McGuane had blurbed Minot's debut novel, Monkeys, which also came out in 1986, calling it "a book of unusual purity and truthfulness. It hardens the lines of a world once barely familiar and makes it ours. Susan Minot touches us by her accurate humanity." Very slight spine lean (as though from reading), else fine in a fine dust jacket. A nice inscription and association. [#036478] $250
