Bausch, Richard Good Evening Mr. & Mrs. America, and All the Ships at Sea: A Novel
Harpercollins 1996 0060173327 / 9780060173326 Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Price inside dustcover: $24.00 - NO writing, marks or tears inside book - Tight spine - Bright pages - 342 pages - Richard Bausch's new novel is a comedy of innocence that is by turns funny and moving, gently nostalgic and profound. Set in 1964, the year after JFK's assassination, the story turns on young Walter Marshall, a devout, idealistic, amiable nineteen-year-old who lives at home with his mother and attends radio broadcasting school at night. Like many young men of the time, Walter has been stirred by the example of the recently martyred president, and has decided upon a life in politics. In fact, he has set his sights on the White House. There only remain the roughly twenty years of living to do before he can take up the torch. And Walter has some important lessons to learn, several of them involving women... The story of this sheltered young man's very-much-less-than-suave fumbling toward manhood unfolds against the backdrop of powerful descriptions of a country in the midst of great change.

Bausch, Richard Spirits, and Other Stories
Linden Press/Simon & Schuster 1987 0671638750 / 9780671638757 Hard Cover Fine Near-Fine
Price inside dustcover: $15.95 - Bausch's emerging reputation as a fine writer will rise with this moving collection. Precisely phrased, recounted in a variety of stingingly accurate voices, these nine stories all deal with the failure of the spirit, all, indeed, with aspects of a single personality. Although the protagonists differ, each suffers from self-doubt, perhaps self-abnegation. In ``All the Way in Flagstaff,'' a man recalls a picnic with his wife and children on a day when his compulsive drinking signaled the end of his marriage. The very old protagonist of ``Wisemen at Their End'' always held his family at arm's length and now is unable to accept the proffered help of an elderly woman. In ``Police Dreams'' a husband, content with his family and job, slowly feels his wife slipping away, refusing to communicate, losing interest even in their children. She leaves him, for no reason except that he is himself, and that's not good enough. Disconsolate and wary, an 18-year-old whose father has died a few months before spends Christmas with his mother and aunt in ``Ancient History.'' Eventually, he realizes that his father had been preparing to leave them. Understated as they are, these stories have a capacity to haunt, as if life itself had walked in and said, ``What am I here for?'
