First edition thus of this landmark experimental short story collection, showcasing a mythical portrait of the American Midwest — including a revised and expanded preface.

First edition of Gass's experimental novella — a monologue by an abstraction dressed up as a woman, with cover photographs thoughtfully truncating the model's head along with her limbs lest the point be missed.

Scarce uncorrected proof for Gass's first nonfiction book, a collection of critical essays discussing "the art of fiction."
