pp., 171, 6 line ink inscription of former owner on front free endpaper, "Young Kevin O'Brien is caught between heaven and hell, torn between the tenderness of his young, adulterous mother and the brutality of his work-gnarled, drunken father. Kevin's world is unrelenting: bone-crushing poverty, bullying, his first adolescent yearnings, and the fire of sin. Yet, in Kevin's imagination, there is hope." "Although The Wanton Troopers was Alden Nowlan's first novel, it remained unpublished until after his death in 1983.It also features a poignant afterword by David Adams Richards, an extended biographical note by Nowlan scholar Patrick Toner, and excerpts from an interview by Jon Pederson, conducted a year before Nowlan's death for the celebrated NFB film Alden Nowlan: An Introduction." Size: Lg. 8 Vo.,
