Description: AIRSHIPS Author: Hannah, Barry Title: AIRSHIPS Publication: Alfred A. Knopf, 1978 Edition: First Edition Description: Hardcover with Dust Jacket. SIGNED and inscribed by Barry Hannah to photographer and fine-press publisher Stathis Orphanos, 'For Stathis Orphanos, / Best Wishes! / Barry Hannah.' 209pp. 12mo, blindstamped tan paper over boards backed in Navy cloth with gilt spine letttering, machine deckled fore edge, light blue topstain. Gutters offset beyond the DJ flaps, otherwise exceedingly clean and sharp with crisp, fresh pages; the already-fairly-pale pink lettering of the DJ spine is just a bit faded, DJ otherwise very crisp and clean with price of $8.95 intact. The Pulitzer winner's third publication and first collection of short stories, a form he would come to master, eventually winning the PEN/Malamud Award for excellence in the art of the short story. 'Imagine a Southern de Maupassant entering a Diane Arbus photograph in order to invent fresh juxtapositions of the American language, and you have nearly imagined these astonishing stories of Barry Hannah. He takes fiction by surprise--scenes, shocks, sounds, and amazements: an explosive but meticulous originality.' - Cynthia Ozick. FINE / NEAR FINE.
