NOW AVAILABLE, an attractive first printing of Jaimy Gordon's incredibly stylish, voice-driven, underdog story of life and the various characters at a fictional rundown track in West Virginia, which was a suprise winner of the National Book Award winner after it was published by a tiny press in upstate New York.

One of our favorite novels of the 2000s.
