About This Item
New Yoerk: Viking Press, 1974. 196pp..Beige boards, black spine with shimmering purple lettering on the spine. Except for a touch of wear to the extremities, and foxing spots on the tope edge, a like new copy.Unclipped pictorial jacket has a very light streak on the rear panel. "Faith Cross, a beautiful and purely innocent young black woman, is told by her dying mother to go and get herself "a good thing." Thus begins an extraordinary pilgrim's progress that takes Faith from the magic and mysticism of the rural South to the promises and perils of modern-day Chicago. It is an odyssey that propels Faith from the degradation of prostitution, drugs, and drink into a faceless middle-class reality, and finally into a searing tragedy that ironically leads to the discovery of the real Good Thing.". First American Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Octavo.
