A Diving Rock on the Hudson: Mercy of a Rude Stream, Volume II Roth, Henry
Very Good.
Paperback. Softcover 1995 St. Martin's Press. Only light wear. Very clean; no marks or creases; pages bright; binding tight. 418 pages; Family tree of Ira Stigman. Language: English. 'A bombshell explodes in this second volume of the sextet, Mercy of a Rude Stream, as Roth reveals a secret that was surely one of the reasons for his 60-year writing block after the publication of Call It Sleep, his classic 1934 novel of immigrant adolescence. In the first volume of this series, his portentous hints about a dark side of Ira's sexuality may have seemed excessive; here, his alter ego, Ira Stigman, makes a shocking disclosure: a long interval of incest with his younger sister, as well as the seduction of a younger cousin. As the author/narrator continues to bare his soul to his computer, Ecclesias, readers will begin to understand the remorse, guilt and mental anguish that for a long time prevented Roth from thinking or writing about the events that form the basis for his fiction. ... As in his previous books, we are given a haunting picture of a vanished social class, the first generation of American children of Jewish immigrants from European shetls, living in bleak tenements, aware they are crude and uncouth by the standards of American society. This novel alone would stand as a brilliant literary achievement....'--Publishers Weekly, 1994.

Requiem for Harlem (Mercy of a Rude Stream, Volume IV) Roth, Henry
Very Good.
Hardcover. Stated 1st edition hardcover with dustjacket 1998 St. Martin's. Very clean; no marks; pages bright; binding tight. Light wear to jacket. 291 pages; Glossary of Yiddish and Hebrew Words and Phrases. Language: English. 'The fourth--and final--volume of Roth's astonishing, largely autobiographical bildungsroman, Mercy of a Rude Stream, retains the brilliant insight of the previous volumes with only a fraction of their suspense. The story picks up in 1927, six months after volume three, From Bondage, left off. Still living in the Harlem slums with his parents and young sister, City College senior Ira Stigman is on fire with Milton's poetry and wracked by guilt over his sexual relations with his 16-year-old cousin Stella. ... This is a chilling portrait of selfishness struggling through art towards justification.'--Publishers Weekly, 1998.
