Murnane's fiction is woven from images -- the reflections of the setting sun on distant windowpanes, seemingly limitless grasslands, a procession of dark-haired women, a clearing in a forest, the colors indigo and silver-grey, and the mysterious death of a young woman -- which build to an emotional climax that is all the more powerful for the intricacy of its patterning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerald Murnane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1567925553\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781567925555\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e David R.
