A
collection
by I
van Gold
"Nothing short of remarkable. The stories are all muscle-sweated

is difficult to compare him with other writers in order to

in its own way, is tough, bitter, impersonal, and superbly unil–
lusioned."-Saturday REMJiew

A BURIED LAND
A novel
by
Madison Jones

of a novel, it is also a novelist's novel. No writer, reading it, can
help being aware of the superb economy and richness with which
the acts of a group of human beings are presented."-JESSAMYN
