Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. First Thus. Signed by the author on title page. In 1963, at the age of 17, Dwayne Hallston discovers James Brown and wants to perform just like him. His band, the Amazing Rumblers, studies and rehearses Brown's Live at the Apollo album in the storage room of his father's shop in their small North Carolina town. Meanwhile, Dwayne's forbidden black friend Larry--aspiring to play piano like Thelonius Monk--apprentices to a jazz musician called the Bleeder. His mother hopes music will allow him to escape the South. A dancing chicken and a mutual passion for music help Dwayne and Larry as they try to achieve their dreams and maintain their friendship, even while their world says both are impossible. In THE NIGHT TRAIN, Edgerton's trademark humor reminds us of our divided national history and the way music has helped bring us together. Paperback. Inscribed by the author on title page. xi, 464pp. Full refund if not satisfied. Signed by the author.

You might even shed a tear and have a few good laughs.What are some others saying about Pieces of Life Pieces of Life is a nifty book of sketches and stories that will catch your eye and your heart, and you'll say, 'Whoa. Writers are among us.' The stories are visual and clear and written extremely well. Some will bring a tear-or an out loud laugh. Or both. It's so good to know that people who have or who are pursuing many walks of life see that the making of literature can bring us all closer. The writers in Pieces of life highlight the kinds of relationships and feelings and griefs and joys that make us human, together on the same journey, after all. I hope many other communities follow the example set forth between these covers, and form such a group as the Landfall Writer's Group.

They can make you laugh, cry, and ponder the wonders of your own adventure, as you take in these snippets of life and thought. Dip in anywhere.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Steven Cragg (illustrator). [14], 265, [1] pages. Signed by the author on the half-title page. DJ is in a plastic sleeve. DJ has an "Autographed Edition" sticker on front. Clyde Edgerton (born May 20, 1944) is an American author. He has published a dozen books, most of them novels, two of which have been adapted for film. He is also a professor, teaching creative writing. In 1962 Edgerton enrolled at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, majoring in English. During this time he was a student in the Air Force ROTC program where he learned to fly a small plane. After graduating in 1966, he entered the Air Force and served five years as a fighter pilot in the United States, Korea, Japan, and Thailand. After his service, Edgerton got his Master's degree in English and began a job as an English teacher at his old high school. He also earned a doctorate. He decided to become a writer in 1978 after watching Eudora Welty read a short story on public television. Publication of Edgerton's first novel, Raney, the plot of which revolves around the marriage of a Free Will Baptist and an Episcopalian, ultimately led to Edgerton's leaving the teaching staff at Campbell University in Buies Creek, North Carolina (a Baptist institution). His later work, Killer Diller, is a thinly veiled satire of that university and its administration, with whom Edgerton clashed over Raney. His novel Redeye was inspired by a visit to the Mesa Verde and Anasazi cliff dwellings; the book is a historical novel set in 1890s Colorado.[citation needed] His tenth novel, Night Train, follows two friendsā "one White and one Blackā "in the segregated South of the 1960s. The Copeland family of Listre, North Carolina, goes back a long way. Meredith Copeland's father, Albert, keeps a sort of written family record in some notebooks he bought to log the flights of his home-built floatplane, a project Albert first undertook in 1956, when his children were just kids. Now that the kids are grown -- Thatcher has a son of his own, Meredith and Mark are back from Vietnam, and Noralee is off dating hippies -- the notebooks are thick with the floatplane's failures to lift off and bulging with color Polaroids of the wisteria blossoms near the family plot, favorite family dogs, Thatcher and Bliss's wedding, records of Noralee's height and weight, a diagram of the graveyard, a newspaper story about wild-child Meredith's many backfired schemes. This novel travels back in time more than one hundred years, to the Copeland bride who first planted the wisteria by the back porch that would take over the surrounding woods, and then down to the present again to show how even though times change, people are pretty much the same. Derived from a Kirkus review: Another folksy and warmhearted novel about the lower-middle class in the almost-modern South. Edgerton imposes a demanding literary technique--different voices speaking in turn. What everyone's talking about is the Copeland family, a close-knit and curious bunch of southerners currently presided over by Albert, whose wartime experience as a bridge-building frogman explains his obsession with "friction reduction" and "natural suspension"--his all-purpose explanations for just about anything. Since the mid-50's, he's puttered around with a floatplane--a silly flying contraption that's supposed to take off from a body of water. Over the years, members of his family tell us about other comic adventures as well, most centering on Albert's son, Meredith, a mischievous boy with an "ever-present twinkle in his eye"--as his adoring sister-in-law Bliss puts it. Also attesting to Meredith's antic behavior are his boorish brother, Thatcher, and his fatherless cousin, Mark, Meredith's reluctant co-conspirator. They both record priceless chapters in Copeland family lore, hilarious set-pieces that include the time Meredith fell through the kitchen floor and into an old well underneath, and the time his interracial basketball game was postponed on account of coal dust. Family rituals--the annual grave-cleanings and the yearly hunting trips to Florida--provide further evidence of their appealing lunacy. But the graveyard's wisteria vine--which also gets to speak!--alludes to a darker history, full of tragic deaths. Edgerton's tone downshifts when he brings Mark and Meredith into the Vietnam era and a war that renders the latter a cripple. Hope springs eternal, though, in the literally uplifting ending--a joyous moment when one of Mr. Copeland's cockamamie notions proves triumphant. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Kristina Edgerton (Author photograph) (illustrator). [10], 241, [5] pages. Inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads For Jennifer All Best. Clyde Edgerton. Clyde Edgerton (born May 20, 1944) is an American author. He has published a dozen books, most of them novels, two of which have been adapted for film. He is also a professor, teaching creative writing. Edgerton was born in Durham, North Carolina and grew up in the small town of Bethesda, North Carolina. In 1962 Edgerton enrolled at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. During this time he was a student in the Air Force ROTC program where he learned to fly. After graduating in 1966, he entered the Air Force and served five years as a fighter pilot in the United States, Korea, Japan, and Thailand. After his time in service, Edgerton got his Master's degree in English and soon after, he also earned a doctorate. He decided to become a writer in 1978 after watching Eudora Welty read a short story on public television.

His later work, Killer Diller, is a satire of that university and its administration, with whom Edgerton clashed over Raney. His novel Redeye was inspired by a visit to the Mesa Verde and Anasazi cliff dwellings; the book is a historical novel set in 1890s Colorado. His tenth novel, Night Train, follows two friendsā "one White and one Blackā "in the segregated South of the 1960s. As of 2011 he was a professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. Preston Clearwater has been a criminal since stealing two chain saws and 1600 pairs of aviator sunglasses from the Army during the Second World War. Back on the road in post-war North Carolina, a member of a car-theft ring, he picks up hitch-hiking Henry Dampier, an innocent nineteen-year-old Bible salesman. Clearwater immediately recognizes Henry as just the associate he needs--one who will believe Clearwater is working as an F.B.I. spy; one who will drive the cars Clearwater steals as Clearwater follows along in another car at a safe distance. Henry joyfully sees a chance to lead a dual life as Bible salesman and a G-man. During his hilarious and scary adventures we learn of Henry's fundamentalist youth, an upbringing that doesn't prepare him for his new life. As he falls in love and questions his religious training, Henry begins to see he's being used--that the fun and games are over, that he is on his own in a way he never imagined. Derived from a Kirkus review: The Lord works in humorously mysterious ways in this Southern picaresque teaming a jaded car thief and a young, impressionable Bible salesman. The wry novel from Edgerton, set in his native North Carolina, concerns the unlikely bond between a pair of disparate characters. Preston Clearwater, who looks vaguely like Clark Gable, is a slick criminal who has graduated from stealing during World War II to participating in a car-theft ring run by a war buddy. Clearwater's work requires an accomplice to drive the cars he steals. Providence provides him with a partner when he picks up a hitchhiker named Henry Dampier, a 20-year-old Bible salesman who is very gullible and naive though not necessarily stupid. Henry has a scam of his own, sending away for free Bibles from missionary organizations and then selling them door to door. Raised by a pious aunt and a more fun-loving uncle after the freak accident that killed his father, Henry is trying to find his way in the world, looking to the Bible as a moral compass, though confused by the mixed messages it sends. Preston convinces Henry that the car thief is really an undercover FBI agent infiltrating a car-theft ring, and he offers Henry more money than he makes selling Bibles, while allowing him to sell Bibles on the side. Chapters alternate between ones titled "Exodus" and "Genesis", in that order, before culminating in "Revelation." The plot is secondary to character, with most of the humor deriving from the contrasts between the partners whom fate has brought together. To the reader's amusement, Henry discovers more about himself, the Bible and the ways of the world than he'd ever anticipated. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].
