Boston, Houghton Mifflin, 1984. The uncorrected proof copy of the first novel by the author of Ruin Creek, among others. A "Chinese American Romance," wherein Tao meets Dow. Winner of the Houghton Mifflin Literary Fellowship Award. Signed by the author. This is the second issue proof, in tan wrappers and with a Tom Robbins blurb on the front cover. An earlier proof, in blue wrappers, lacked the Robbins blurb. Sticker removal mark on front cover and crease to crown; very good in wrappers. [#014913] SOLD
