Condition: Very Good
Description: 279 pp." Pigeon Feathers" is a remarkable short-story of a young man's coming-of-age, told through an instance of seeing God's work in a creature which he just destroyed, full knowing that, even though he was "just following the orders" of the one in charge, he was responsible! Does that sound familiar? You will feel the young man's discomfort as you remember an experience of your own. Also included is the memorable "A & P" - another coming-of-age of another sort, where a young man comes to the defense of a young woman whom he does not know, by finding a nobility within himself that he also did not know was there. Previous owner name on fep; dj age-yellowing/bit of upper edge wear. Thank you, John, for helping us understand ourselves!
