eBay • For Your Consideration: • A First Edition, First Printing in HARDCOVER of: • “FLYING HOME AND OTHER STORIES” (Random House, 1996) (Hardcover, First Edition, First Printing) • BY RALPH ELLISON • EDITED & INTRODUCED BY: JOHN F. CALLAHAN • A VG+ UNREAD copy • ABOUT THIS TITLE: • “Written between 1937 and 1954, these thirteen stories are a potent distillation of the genius of RALPH ELLISON. Six of them remained unpublished during ELLISON’s lifetime and were discovered among the author’s effects in a folder labeled ‘Early Stories.’ But they all bear the hallmarks–the thematic reach, musically layered voices, and sheer ebullience–that ELLISON would bring to his classic INVISIBLE MAN. The tales in FLYING HOME range in setting from the Jim Crow South to a Harlem bingo parlor, from the hobo jungles of the Great Depression to Wales during the Second World War. By turns lyrical, scathing, touching, and transcendently wise, FLYING HOME AND OTHER STORIES is a historic volume, an extravagant last bequest from a giant of our literature.” —THE PUBLISHER • “Approach the elegance of CHEKHOV.” —WASHINGTON POST • “A slim but shining installment…. The least of these stories are distinctive, the best are gripping and two are genuinely terrifying…. ELLISON’s voice ultimately prevails, from the personal metaphor (‘they seem to feel just the place to kick you to make your backbone feel like it’s going to fold up like the old cellophane drinking cups we used when we were kids’) to the ebullient non sequitur (‘When we jam, sir, we’re Jamocrats!’).” —GARY GIDDINS, NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW • “His stories display, individually, the commitment to craft and, collectively, the acquired range that later enabled him to assemble, block by block, one of the great monuments of American literature.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY • “Marvelous…. Glorious, pre-INVISIBLE MAN riffs—and another fine addition to the ELLISON oeuvre.” —KIRKUS REVIEWS • “It stands on its own literary merit and will be a positive addition to fiction collections, especially those in African American literature.” —LIBRARY JOURNAL • “Early explorations of [ELLISON’s] lifelong fascination with the ‘complex fate’ and ‘beautiful absurdity’ of American identity…. Taken together, the short stories point to ELLISON’s remarkably consistent vision of American identity over the fifty-five years of his life.” —JOHN F. CALLAHAN, FROM HIS INTRODUCTION • • For other details about this book, please see below. • TITLE: “FLYING HOME: AND OTHER STORIES” AUTHOR: RALPH ELLISON EDITOR & INTRODUCER: JOHN F.

THANK YOU! *********** *********** /\___/\ =•ᆺ•= “We believe it’s good business to be good to our customers.” *********** FLAPPINCAT’s HOUSE RULES *********** 1. GENERAL TREATMENT. We enjoy treating FLAPPINCAT customers with honesty & respect & warmth because that’s how we like to be treated when we buy things on eBay. 2. GENERAL ATTITUDE. We are grateful you choose to trust us with your business. We aim for that gratitude to permeate every part of how we engage with you. 3. OUR DESCRIPTIONS. We describe every item we sell as clearly and accurately as we can. When it comes to describing condition, we tend toward being conservative. 4. PACKING & SHIPPING. We know from experience that items, when not thoughtfully packed, can be damaged during shipment. To avoid that real danger, FLAPPINCAT wraps & cushions your purchase(s) mindfully—and sometimes zealously—in a sturdy package. WARNING: In our zeal, we sometimes over-tape containers and you may need a penknife to unseal our shipments. NOTE: Though we often recycle shipping materials, we do NOT stint on protection. 5. OUR PRICES. We try to offer the lowest prices on eBay for items we sell. Even our most expensive offerings tend to be lower than what others are asking. “You could look it up!” —to quote baseball immortal JACK KEEFE. SUMMARY: We know you have many buying options on eBay. FLAPPINCAT tries to be distinctive by being accurate, mindful, and friendly. *********** How We GRADECONDITION *********** DETAILS. The condition of every item we sell will be described in detail. FLAWS. All discernible flaws will be noted, if not emphasized. Of course, the grading of condition can be subjective. And since no grader is perfect, it is possible that we may at times miss a flaw. It is also possible that we may miss some perfections! Should we make a mistake, you will find FLAPPINCAT eager to fix things with you. Just send us a note and we’ll get on it. GRADING SYSTEM. For books and magazines (and even other items), we use these terms (in order of desirability): VERY FINE or LIKE NEW FINE (or EXCELLENT) NEAR FINE (or NF) VERY GOOD PLUS (or VG+) VERY GOOD (or VG) GOOD FAIR ACCEPTABLE POOR “POOR.” Except in rare cases, for rare items, we tend to avoid selling items that are in utterly “POOR” condition. It is more likely that on a rare item, only one part of an item (out of numerous parts) will be described as “POOR.” RETURNS. We accept that you may wish to return a purchase because you genuinely think we haven’t described and graded its condition properly. We accept that we our* imperfect. We also accept that people can see things differently—and still be civil! (*Get it?) POP QUIZ. Please feel free to ask questions at any time about condition (or anything else, except math). EXTRA VISUALS. Although we include multiple photographs in our listings, we usually have others we could share with you. (These extra photos also help to establish a paper-trial in the rare case that an item is damaged en route to you.) *********** SHIPPING *********** Every item is individually priced for postage. That price can be found in the listing, not here. UNITED STATES: In the USA, we ship books via MEDIA MAIL. Magazines are generally shipped PRIORITY MAIL; the Post Office does not permit magazines which carry advertising to be shipped MEDIA MAIL. INTERNATIONAL DESTINATIONS: To those international countries to which we ship (please see list), the cost of postage is calculated by eBay and individually listed with each item. EXPEDITED SHIPPING: In the United States, EXPEDITED SHIPPING is available if you request, and pay, for it BEFORE we ship your item. *********** HOW TO PAY *********** PAYMENT: As we ship promptly, we ask that you please pay promptly—via PAYPAL. With auctions, payments should be made before 3 days (72 hours) from the time an auction for an item closes. After 4 days—and independent of us!—eBay automatically begins a process for unpaid action. NEED MORE TIME? If you need more time to pay, PLEASE just contact us in advance of the deadline. We understand how life happens, so we don’t mind being reasonable. Thank you! *********** LASTLY *********** What more can we say? Haven’t we said enough? Well…we can always repeat ourselves. In summary: FLAPPINCAT is genuinely grateful for your patronage and we aim to express that gratitude in every way we can. Thanks for trusting FLAPPINCAT! *********** P.S.
