Wier was born in 1946 in San Antonio, Texas and spent parts of his childhood in Louisiana and Mexico. Allen Wier is an American writer and a professor at the University of Tennessee. Although Wier deals with a raw and unremitting world of loneliness and violence, it is a world that he has transformed by the power of his shaping imagination and made immediate and exciting. Ephemerality, mortality, and love are the themes of Blanco. In the title for this, his first novel, Allen Wier names both the place-a small town in the Texas hill country, circa 1959-and the condition of the quietly desperate daily lives of his vividly realized characters. Book has some light foxing on the page edges, light discoloration and shelf wear.
