FREE: Poppy Z. Brite - The Value Of X

The listing, Poppy Z. Brite - The Value Of X has ended.

I have here a signed hardcover edition of The Value of X by Poppy Z. Brite. ISBN # 1-931081-67-0. Its a great book that continues with 3 other stories with the same characters, Liquor, Prime, and Soul Kitchen. I have read them all and fell in love with the characters and the way she brings them to life in the pages. I bought it from a local library sale. So the top of the pages of the book as shown in pic 5 the library stamp has been blacked out. The dustcover does have some sticky parts due to the stickers that they took off.

written on inside dustcover:

Here is the novel that marks a major turning point in the work of Poppy Z. Brite. Fans of Brite's earlier work will find that she has matured, streamlines, and moved closer to the heart of common experience without abandoning her own extremely personal perspective.

Gary and Ricky grew up in the Lower Ninth Ward, products of New Orleans as surely as Community Coffee or the Superdome. Friends since childhood, they became lovers at age 16 and mus deal with the realities of being gay in a hardscrabble neighborhood, a traditional Catholic family, and the restaurant kitchens where they begun work.

The Value of X is a novel about growing up, about outgrowing the templates of family and society, about the pirate-crew culture that goes on behind the scenes of every restaurant. Perhaps most of all, its a novel that portrays New Orleans in a richer, truer light then Brite has ever done before.
