House Of Breath

The Story

The House of Breath, Goyen?s first novel, is a hymn to Charity, a small Texas town. In his celebration, Goyen evokes childhood, memory, loss and a sense of place. The book begins with Goyen?s intoxication with the spells of his birthplace: ?Those Texan wetlands are my wildness. They have haunted me and become my place in all my work.?

A paperback edition from 1990 of House Of Breath by William Goyen. It runs to 208 pages, in very good condition. We hold one copy, so once it is gone it is gone. Shelved under Literature & Fiction. Wrapped with care for collectors and shipped from Kuwait.
