New York: Vintage 2000. First Soft Cover Edition. Signed by Dillard on the title page (in her perfunctory signature). Originally issued in hardcover 1999, FOR THE TIME BEING finds Dillard in a somewhat millennial mood, casting a sweeping eye over the vastness of humanity and human history in a series of meditations that are at once humorous, tragic, and olympian. By the author of PILGRIM FROM TINKER CREEK and many others. Illustrated wrappers. Crown of spine a bit bumped else a fine copy.

Price: $20.00
