Seller's Description:
Good. Good condition. (Poverty, Fiction) A copy that has been read but remains intact. May contain markings such as bookplates, stamps, limited notes and highlighting, or a few light stains. Bundled media such as CDs, DVDs, floppy disks or access codes may not be included.
The characters are multi-talented, each are able to write and rewrite our understanding of them as pertains to their decisions and placing in life. Pere is at once a pitiful character and one that we can sympathize with as well as despise. He airs out the weakness of the human spirit and the author is honest in his confrontation of the Urbane consciousness!
