Secret Goldfish, The

Means, David

Hardcover. New York, Fourth Estate/HarperCollins, 1st, 2004, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, 211 pages. Hardcover. Gilt title on spine. Clean inside and out. Dust jacket in good shape, covered in protective plastic. From the front flap: "...Each story stands on its own, and yet linked together they produce a quintessentially American experience -- not the stars-and-stripes-on-the-bumper-sticker kind, but the stoned-and-bored-and-looking-for-trouble kind. Means's writing is shot through with emotion and beauty. A subversive humor -- and an almost religious fervor -- drives these stories, and Means's miraculously precise observations bring them to life."
