The Weak and Strong

First edition. Dust jacket has chipping at spine ends, $2.50 price is intact. Two different owner's names on FFEP, and rear endpage, otherwise clean text block. Missing last fly leaf (presumably no text missing) The setting is a Pacific Island resort hotel, where human driftwood, rich through one means or another, are caught together in a collapse of rook caused by a minor earthquake in a volcanic cave they had chosen to visit. While the rotten side is exposed-human nature at its most unpleasant and sordid -- a few repent and decide to lead different lives when they get out, and few others gamble on a future when a lost dream will become reality. 209 pages.
