Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 498 pages. Published in 1997. Massive Oral Biography on subject. Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and lim…ited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out shortly after publication. The First Edition is now rare. Presents George Plimpton's "Truman Capote: In Which Various Friends, Enemies, Acquaintances, And Detractors Recall His Turbulent Career". Engrossing and almost definitive as such. "Nobody can match George Plimpton as an adroit weaver of interviews into a tight narrative fabric. His book doesn't knock the biography, 'Capote', off the shelf, but it's so much more fun to read. Brimming with important literary history" (Tim Appelo). Another legendary writer explained to Plimpton why Capote was the Real Thing and F. Scott Fitzgerald's successor, despite the unavoidable distractions of celebrity and reality: "The scene stirring with rightness and strangeness, the compressed phrase, the exact yet imaginative word, the devastating metaphorical aptness, a feeling of concentrated excess which at the same time gives the effect of being crystalline" (James Dickey). About Plimpton: By the time he died in 2003, George Plimpton himself became one of the iconic American figures of our time. Prolific writer, Founder of The Paris Review, actor, ornithologist, athlete, and one of the closest friends of Robert F. Kennedy, he famously wrestled and pinned Sirhan Sirhan to the ground after the latter assassinated Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. The basis of not one but two film classics, "Capote" (2005) by Bennett Miller, with Philip Seymour Hoffman in his Academy Award-winning performance, and "Infamous" (2006) by Douglas MacGrath, with Toby Jones, in an equalling enthralling performance. An absolute "must-have" title for Truman Capote and George Plimpton collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in blue ink-pen on the title page by George Plimpton. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are in multiple subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the best American writers of our time on one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER TRUMAN CAPOTE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0385232497. Signed by Author.

Soft cover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 297 pages. Published in 1995. Rare Susan Sontag collectible item. A fine copy of the Winter 1995 (Volume 137) Paris Review Interview Issue. Presents the most in-depth Interview with the controversial American intellecutal-writer,… which appears in published form for the very time and has not been collected in book form. Celebrated for its brilliance and tenacity as one of the world's greatest literary publications, The Paris Review is perhaps the most influential and most important of its kind. The Paris Review is best-known for its Author Interviews, which are indispensable to an understanding and appreciation of 20th-century and contemporary literature. But the magazine has also published fiction and essays of the highest quality. Susan Sontag's reputation as THE essayist par excellence tended to scant her corollary achievement as a writer of fiction. Although it is true that her essays are superior, she has written enough important work in fiction, and discusses what she believes she has achieved in the interview with Edward Hirsch, the great poet and essayist. Her biographer brilliantly sums up her "aesthetics-as-ethics" work as follows: "Art is not separate from life, but is its highest form" (Benjamin Moser). An absolute "must-have" title for Susan Sontag collectors. This title is a classic Issue. As far as we know, this is the only copy available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare copy thus. Winner of the MacArthur Genius Grant, the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1977 for "On Photography", the National Book Award in 2000 for "In America", and the Jerusalem Prize in 2001. Shimon Peres, in awarding the Jerusalem Prize, described Sontag as "one of the world's finest writers and greatest minds". One of the most influential and important writer-intellectuals of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER SUSAN SONTAG TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). no.

A fine copy of the Winter 1998 (Volume 149) Paris Review Interview Issue. Presents the most in-depth Interview with the Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature i…n 1998, which appears in published form for the very time and has not been collected in book form. Celebrated for its brilliance and tenacity as one of the world's greatest literary publications, The Paris Review is perhaps the most influential and most important of its kind. The Paris Review is best-known for its Author Interviews, which are indispensable to an understanding and appreciation of 20th-century and contemporary literature. But the magazine has also published fiction and essays of the highest quality. Saramago was an anomaly who came out of nowhere, seemingly born a genius. Every single page of every single book he has ever written makes the reader feel that he or she is in the hands of an unsurpassable Master. "He got ahead of us; he is ahead of us. His work belongs to our future" (Ursula K. LeGuin). An absolute "must-have" title for Jose Saramago collectors. This title is a classic Issue. As far as we know, this is the only copy available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare copy thus. Regarded by Harold Bloom as one of the two greatest novelists of our time (the other being Philip Roth), Jose Saramago will be read as probably the greatest European novelist of the last fifty years. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1998. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JOSE SARAMAGO TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). no.

Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 105 pages. Published in 2015. Retrospective collection of personal essays, with accompanying vintage photographs. One of Truman Capote's finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other… subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run by The Little Bookroom as a not-so-little, full-fledged hardcover original only. It is a significant expansion of the publisher's previous pocket volume, "A House On The Heights" (2002), and incorporates the original essay George Plimpton wrote for the latter. The First Edition is now rare. Presents Truman Capote's "Brooklyn: A Personal Memoir". Interspersed with the re-discovered photographs of Brooklyn by David Attie, which rank with the work of Helen Levitt. "The tranquil life Truman Capote led in the quiet enclave of Brooklyn Heights in the 1950's and 1960's stood in sharp contrast to the glittering scene he adored in Manhattan. Vividly evokes the neighborhood that Capote came to know well and described as Brooklyn's 'splendid contradictions'. Its denizens, including a celebrated Russian spy, a globe-trotting antiquarian, and a cat-rescuing dowager with a pointed social agenda, bring to life the Brooklyn that cast its spell over Capote. He meanders through a special time and place still recognizable today" (Publisher's blurb). Brooklyn is cool again, for good. As it was for the young Capote, it is home to some of the most celebrated writers and cutting-edge artists, photographers, and filmmakers of our time. Capote's reminiscenses are some of his finest work. For the sheer beauty of his prose, they are gems of American "portrait" writing. An absolute "must-have" title for Truman Capote collectors. This title is a great collection. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. It is one of the most beautiful copies we have ever seen. Please note: ALL other copies available online have very serious flaws or are in multiple subsequent printings even if their dealers don't say so. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with splendid black-and-white vintage photographs. Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood" is widely regarded as one of the greatest books of the 20th century. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER TRUMAN CAPOTE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1936941112. no.
