This definitive volume brings together three remarkable novels: The Voice at the Back Door, her powerful masterpiece about racial politics in the world of Jim Crow Mississippi; the beloved classic The Light in the Piazza, a celebration of the possibilities of love set amidst the splendors of Florence; and its "dark companion," Knights and Dragons, about a woman working in Rome who is obsessed with the enigmatic specter of her ex-husband. A selection of nineteen stories reveals Spencer, as Richard Ford writes, as "a rare and true master" of the form." $c Page 4 of cover. 650 0 $a Racism $z Mississippi $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Legal status, laws, etc. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Americans $z Italy $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Italy $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Florence (Italy) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Rome (Italy) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a People with mental disabilities $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Mothers and daughters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01026997 650 7 $a People with mental disabilities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01057383 650 7 $a Racism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086616 651 7 $a Italy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204565 651 7 $a Italy $z Florence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204699 651 7 $a Italy $z Rome. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204500 651 7 $a Mississippi. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207034 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Gorra, Michael Edward, $e editor. 830 0 $a Library of America ; $v 344. 941 $a 5 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117033245.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010023018.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909064551.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211102015957.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20211019011217.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EBB602FA30A111ECB04C9E6E4CECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
