Rock Springs: Stories by Richard Ford 

FIRST EDITION • FIRST PRINTING [1987] THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY PRESS

Hardcover with dust jacket in very good condition. 

Dust Jacket is in beautiful shape, with just a hint of light shelf wear.  Will ship in a new custom-fit, archival quality jacket protector.  Unclipped front panel w. original price in tact.

Book itself is very nice; trace wear.  Clean tight boards and bright white pages. 

In these ten exquisite stories, first published by Atlantic Monthly Press in 1987, Richard Ford mines literary gold from the wind-scrubbed landscape of the American West—and from the guarded hopes and gnawing loneliness of the people who live there...

A refugee from justice driving across Wyoming with his daughter and an unhappy girlfriend in a stolen, cranberry-colored Mercedes; a boy watching his family dissolve in a night of tragicomic violence; and two men and a woman swapping hard-luck stories in a frontier bar as they try to sweeten their luck. Rock Springs is a masterpiece of taut narration, cleanly chiseled prose, and empathy so generous that it feels like a kind of grace.
