Schulman Date: 1971 Format: Hardcover with dust jacket & mylar coverEdition: 1st Edition, 1st PrintingCondition: Good, wear on cover & library stamping, see photos. Description: Ten short stories about young people making the discoveries of wonder and joy, disillusionment, anger, rebellion, and loneliness. Ernest Hemingway's young solder comes home from a foreign war to find himself a foreigner in his native land. James Baldwin's black musician is caught up in a struggle to the death against the crushing pressures with which a Negro must contend in America. Alan Sillitoe's incorrigible delinquent is offered entry into respectable society at the price of his self-respect. Joseph Conrad's fledgling ship's officer hesitates on the threshold of power and privilege, suddenly made aware of his kinship with the outcast and the criminal. Irvin Faust presents a turned-off, tuned-out embodiment of urban alienation; William Faulkner's terrified Mississippi farm boy, Isaac Babel's Odessa ghetto youth in conflict with his heritage; Jean Stafford's rambunctious tomboy version of a Western outlaw - all stand at crossroads with their own destinies in the balance.
