OWENS, Louis
Athens, University of Georgia, (1985). An uncommon scholarly study, preceding any of his works of fiction by several years, and one of two books of nonfiction he wrote about John Steinbeck's work. Fine in a fine, very mildly spine-sunned dust jacket.

OWENS, Louis
(NY), Dutton, (1996). A supernatural crime thriller, his fourth book, and the winner of an American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation, which is a multiculturally-focused nonprofit. Other winners have included Tony Morrison, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Joy Harjo. Owens' other novels won a bevy of prizes, including the Roman Noir for The Sharpest Sight, France's equivalent of the Edgar Award. He began his writing career as a Steinbeck scholar. This novel is described as "blending the gut-wrenching realism of Robert Stone with the Native American magical vision of Tony Hillerman." Signed by the author. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Scarce signed: Owens died in 2002 at the age of 54.
