550 p. Book is worn on the outside with some superficial tears/nicks, and a few dog-ears, but the text block from the title page to the end of the book is in great condition, clean and bright. Sequel to Interview with the Vampire. As with the first book in the series, the novel begins with a frame narrative. After over a half century underground, Lestat awakens in the 1980s to the cacophony of electronic sounds and images that characterizes the MTV generation. Particularly, he is captivated by a fledgling rock band named Satan's Night Out. Determined both to achieve international fame and end the centuries of self-imposed vampire silence, Lestat takes command of the band (now renamed "The Vampire Lestat") and pens his own autobiography. The remainder of the novel purports to be that autobiography: the vampire traces his mortal youth as the son of a marquis in pre-Revolutionary France, his initiation into vampirism at the hands of Magnus, and his quest for the ultimate origins of his undead species. While very different from the first novel in the Vampire Chronicles, The Vampire Lestat has proved to be the foundation for a broader range of narratives than is possible from Louis's brooding, passive perspective. The character of Lestat is one of Rice's most complex and popular literary alter egos, and his Faustian strivings have a mythopoetic resonance that links the novel to a grand tradition of spiritual and supernatural fiction. Patrick O'KelleyMay require small amount of extra shipping due to thickness of book., Ballantine Books, 1986, 2, New York, New York, U.S.A.: Lyons Pr, 1992. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Dust jacket is lightly shelfworn along top edge. One cover corner is slightly bent. Spine is tight; pgs are unmarked. In this quirky, moody, funny assembly of pieces from the "new West", Dave Carty explores what's left in the world of the modern cowboy. Bars, beer, bird dogs, and country music are slowly losing out to Safeways, chardonnay, Muzak and the rest of modern American civilization. But the die-hard Western traditions live on among the "cowboy" poets, whose musical, steady rhyming verse still charms; in unadorned cowboy bars where country music is still performed without frills; in corners of wilderness where a timeless silence is broken only by the rush of river water - until polypropylene-clad-river runners break the spell. Born Again at the Laundromat is at once a portrait of a stubborn corner of the American mosaic and the story of how a young man finds his place within it. From either perspective, it marks the debut of a marvelous new writer.., Lyons Pr, 1992, 3<
