About This Item
New York: Alfred a Knopf, 1983. First American Edition. Octavo. 120pp., translated by Gregory Rabassa. This sis a dark and profound novel about the codes that men impose on women, and women on themselves; the curious notions of honor that can dominate an isolated community; the irresistible impulse toward violence and the psychology of mass complicity. A near fine copy bound in brown cloth, lettering to upper board in blind, spine lettering silver, in unclipped, very good pictorial dust jacket.
