<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This omnibus edition collects three extraordinary but often overlooked early works by Banks--"Family Life, Hamilton Stark," and "The Relation of My Imprisonment"--and features a new Introduction by the author.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> An Omnibus Edition of Three Classic Early Novels from the Critically Acclaimed Author of <em>Cloudsplitter</em> and <em>Affliction</em> </p><p><em>Family Life: </em> Russell Banks's first novel is an adult fairy tale of a royal family in a mythical contemporary kingdom where the myriad dramas of domesticity blend with an outrageous slew of murders, mayhem, coups, debauches, world tours, and love in all guises, transcendent or otherwise.</p><p><em>Hamilton Stark: </em> This tale of a solitary, boorish, misanthropic New Hampshire pipe fitter--the sole inhabitant of the house from which he evicted his own mother--is at once a compelling meditation on identity and a thoroughly engaging story of life on the cold edge of New England.</p><p><em>The Relation of My Imprisonment: </em> Utilizing a form invented by imprisoned seventeenth-century Puritan divines--an utterly sincere and detailed, if highly artificial, recounting of great suffering--Banks's novel is a remarkably inventive, lovingly good-humored argument, exploration, and map of the caged religious mind.</p>
