About this product

Product Information

Jayne Anne Phillips's reputation-making debut collection paved the way for a new generation of writers. Raved about by reviewers and embraced by the likes of Raymond Carver, Frank Conroy, Annie Dillard, and Nadine Gordimer, Black Tickets now stands as a classic. With an uncanny ability to depict the lives of men and women who rarely register in our literature, Phillips writes stories that lay bare their suffering and joy. Here are the abused and the abandoned, the violent and the passive, the impoverished and the disenfranchised who populate the small towns and rural byways of the country. A patron of the arts reserves his fondest feeling for the one man who wants it least. A stripper, the daughter of a witch, escapes from poverty into another kind of violence. A young girl during the Depression is caught between the love of her crazy father and the no less powerful love of her sorrowful mother. These are great American stories that have earned a privileged place in our literature.

the sticker on the front was no big deal at all. the seller was upfront about it in the description which i appreciate. it came off easily with a bit of alcohol and scraping. there was a rip in the package when i received it, but i know that wasn't the sellers fault- definitely the post office. shipping was quicker than i expected and the book is in amazing condition. super excited to start reading since i just finished the first book and the price? such a great deal and find! seller is fanastic
