BARRY HANNAH—1st Ed HC—HEY JACK!—"The Maddest Writer in the USA"

Description: • For Your Consideration: • A First Edition, First Printing in HARDCOVER of: • “HEY JACK!” [A NOVEL] (E. P. Dutton / Seymour Lawrence, 1987) (Hardcover, First Edition, First Printing) • BY BARRY HANNAH • IN VG+ / UNREAD CONDITION. • ABOUT THIS TITLE: • “Set in a small town in rural Mississippi, HEY JACK! Expresses the full and epic range of love, just plain craziness, and despair of its inhabitants. The narrator is a Korean veteran named HOMER—and through his voice the reader embarks on a Southern odyssey to meet such characters as GRAMPS, always shooting off his mouth or his gun; a hypochondriacal professor; RONNIE FOOT, a cocaine-packing rock star; redneck Southerners of all lying stripes and persuasions; Korean veterans; and, of course, JACK, an old café owner whose friendship with the narrator is at the core of this book.”—THE PUBLISHER • “HANNAH’s latest novel is the chronicle of a friendship that thrives amidst the lunacy and tragi-comic violence of a small Mississippi town…. The book contains striking proof of HANNAH’s verbal ingenuity….”—LIBRARY JOURNAL • “In this slender new novel by the author of AIRSHIPS, the story line advances casually, but in HANNAH’s wonderfully original, distinctive fashion. The setting is a sleepy Mississippi college town, where there is lots of time for tennis and gossip…. Every word is fresh and precise. HANNAH’s wry voice is spellbinding.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY • ABOUT THE AUTHOR:• “The maddest writer in the U.S.A.” —TRUMAN CAPOTE • “The best fiction writer to appear in the South since FLANNERY O’CONNOR.” —LARRY McMURTRY • “The most consistently interesting sentences of any writer in America today…with moods and interior storms that cannot be found anywhere else in fiction.” —SVEN BIRKERTS, THE NEW REPUBLIC • “An original, and one of the most consistently exciting writers of the post-FAULKNER generation.”—WILLIAM STYRON, SALON • “A wailing genius of literary twang, reverb, feedback, and general sonic unholiness that results in grace notes so piercing your heart melts like an overloaded amp.” —WILL BLYTHE, INTERVIEW • “HANNAH captures the patois of the swamp and palmetto lands but wisely lets his own voice resonate the loudest. Bold and original.” —PEOPLE • “The godfather of soul of contemporary Southern writing.” —MARK RICHARD • “There is ammunition enough to say it plainly: BARRY HANNAH is one of the two or three most exciting craftsmen of fiction in the country.” —WASHINGTON CITY PAPER • “BARRY was a master of Southern gothic-gonzo whose work was born out of WILLIAM FAULKNER and FLANNERY O’CONNOR but also ROBERT JOHNSON and MOSE ALLISON. His prose was electric and sharp as barbed wire, his vision of the ‘new’ South grim, hilarious, biting, and profound. BARRY’s impact on American letters was huge….” —MORGAN ENTREKIN, PUBLISHER • “I greatly revere [HANNAH’s work], having read it all. I always thought he would become a massively famous novelist, which didn’t quite happen, except in the minds of other writers.”—JIM HARRISON • “BARRY could capture in a sentence all the beauty of the language, along with hilarity and tragedy and everything in between.” —GARY FISKETJON, EDITOR • “He wouldn’t leave a sentence alone until he’d electrified every word with this outrageous wit and devilish music. After HANNAH,you couldn’t let yourself write a ‘Then he picked up a coffee cup’ sort of sentence ever again. To my mind, he was the most thrilling, vital stylist in American fiction.” —WELLS TOWER • “The conspicuous lust and violence of HANNAH’s fiction lured me early. As time passed I learned to appreciate the splendor of his sentences. For my money, nobody spoke the confounded tongue of the late twentieth century better than HANNAH: his desperate, doomed characters lived and spoke true poetry.” —BRIAN BEATTY, RAIN TAXI REVIEW • “Frontally, he presented you with what seemed to be a recognizable southern type—the swaggering, impudent, small-town, pool-hall residing, wise-cracking, occasionally bibulous little smart-ass. Who then incongruously but absolutely legitimately wowed and amazed you with his celestial-quality literary sentences and constructions that could’ve come from no other brain but his, and that you never forgot. Many people have had the experience of BARRY’s stories and novels changing their lives forever. I think that’s precisely what he aimed for. He always said, ‘Shoot for the stars.’ And he surely did that. He was the real deal.” —RICHARD FORD • “BARRY was, and will always be, essential—as a writer and as a man with an exquisite, deep soul. His death is a world-changing loss for so many of us.”—AMY HEMPEL • “He was just fearless. There are very few people who can put together sentences and words like BARRY HANNAH.”—JOHN GRISHAM • “Women, GOD, lust, race, nature, gay Confederates, good old boys, bad old boys, guns, animals, fishing, fighting, cars, pestilence, surrealism, gritty realism, the future, and the past are tossed together in glorious juxtapositions in HANNAH’s writing. Weird, funny, conversational, soulful—it was entirely his own thing, the numerous comparisons to WILLIAM FAULKNER, FLANNERY O’CONNOR, and MARK TWAIN aside.” —CLAIRE HOWORTH, VANITY FAIR • “You need to see a bit of hell now and then. That and great joy.” —BARRY HANNAH, FROM “YONDER STANDS YOUR ORPHAN” • • For other details about this book, please see below. • TITLE: “HEY JACK!” AUTHOR: BARRY HANNAH TYPE: HARDCOVER PUBLISHER, LOCALE, & YEAR: E.
