    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    A collection of essays by distinguished novelist, poet and critic Robert Kroetsch. In this collection Kroetsch dwells on the silence, the violence, and the erotics of writers as different as Sinclair Ross and Malcolm Lowry, Margaret Lawrence and Michael Ondaatje, Alice Munro and Willa Cather. The essays are extremely varied, and are characterized by an informal voice. This volume will be of interest to students of literature as well as the general reader.

    A storyteller with few peers....Kroetsch is an important writer known for his poetry and for such novels as The Studhorse Man and Alibi....This volume is a perfect companion for his art; a better guide to Kroetsch does not exist.
