To Skin a Cat. Stories.
New York: Dutton, 1986. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine unread copy in a Near Fine dust jacket with a hint of sunning to the spine. This collection of thirteen short stories spans a wide range of subjects from a homicidal rancher, tank town socialites, children facing mortality, self-aggrandizing cads, publicity hounds, heartbreakers and a young girl facing motherhood. McGuane's writing is noted for its mastery of language, a comic appreciation for the irrational core of many human endeavors, multiple takes on the counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s, and an increasing devotion to family relationships and relationships with the natural world in the changing American West. This copy is signed by McGuane. Item #24008
