INSCRIBED to Bill Starr on the half-title page: "To Bill Starr -- Thanks so much for your interest in my book, and for promoting so much book-interest in my home town. Linda Lightsey Rice, December 26, 1990." Also laid in is a very substantial 2 page, 64 line Typed Letter Signed from Rice to Starr (undated) in which she writes, in part, "I want to tell someone in South carolina (and you're the closest thing we've got to a Commissioner of Literature in the capital) of a couple of things I've discovered after touring for the first time to promote a novel. . . When I was growing up in the late sixties in Columbia, there were few regional role models, and no local ones that I knew of, for what I wanted to do with my life. . . Has the idea that creative people of the South must leave - also left? I think it's good to leave, I think it's good to come back; I think it's terrible to feel you must do either. . ." Additionally laid in is a photocopy of Starr's original review of this book from The State. A wonderful author-reviewer association. This is a tight, fine book.. Inscribed by Author(s). 1st Edition. Soft cover. Fine.
