Always Stand In Against the Curve and Other Sports Stories

Oxford, Mississippi: Yoknapatawpha Press, (1983).

Price: $200.00

Hardcover. First edition. Boards and endpapers foxed, a good copy in a fair only dustwrapper. A scarce collection of short stories about sports and growing up in the South in the 1950s. Inscribed by the author: "Bridgehampton 1983. To my friend Michael – with much affection to my cousin at Christmas. Willie." The inscription is a little smudged. Curiously, this copy ended up in the library of Morris's close friend, the author James Jones.
