Synopsis
In French caracole means "prancing"; in English, "caper." Both words perfectly describe this high-spirited erotic adventure. In Caracole , White invents an entire world where country gentry languish in decaying mansions and foppish intellectuals exchange lovers and gossip in an occupied city that resembles both Paris under the Nazis and 1980s New York. To that city comes Gabriel, an awkward boy from the provinces whose social na vet and sexual ardor make him endlessly attractive to a variety of patrons and paramours. "A seduction through language, a masque without masks, Caracole brings back to startling life a dormant strain in serious American writing: the idea of the romantic."--Cynthia Ozick, In French caracole means "prancing"; in English, "caper."

No problems. Items are always packaged well and arrive in a timely fashion. Good prices and good interactions. Thank you for a positive experience. I would add that although I didn't have an issue with this transaction, I've never had a problem with this seller that was not fixed to my satisfaction.
