A Thousand Acres
Winner of the 1991 National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction and the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. A Thousand Acres retells Shakespear's King Lear. It is set on a 1000-acres family farm in Iowa. The story is told through the oldest daughter's point of view. Smiley writing in this book raises tension at times to almost unbearable-- but always credible -- extremes. In the process, she raises profound questions about human conduct and moral responsibility, especially in the context of family relationships and the guilt and bitterness those relationships can foster.
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1991. 1st edition, 371 pages. Hardcover with Dustjacket Both book and dustajcket are in FINE condition. SIGNED by Smiley.
