Soft cover. Condición: Fine. No Jacket. Special Edition. Advance Reader's Edition of Uncorrected Proof in paperback. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. "Mesmerized--at times unnerved--by his 96-year-old father's nearly superhuman vitality, David Shields tracks the arc of the body--from crib to oblivion--in himself, his father, his wife, and his teenage daughter, using biological facts and figures, enriched by family anecdotes and often-surprising statements by everyone from his back doctor to Tolstoy. The result is this exhilarating book: both a personal meditation on mortality and an exploration of flesh-and-blood existence that paradoxically prompts a new and profound appreciation of life." [publisher copy] "David Shields has accomplished something here so pure and wide in its implications that I almost think of it as a secular, unsentimental Kahlil Gibran: a textbook for the acceptance of our fate on earth."--Jonathan Lethem. "It's a bold writer who dares to tackle head-on the subject of what it means to be human--something that David Shields does with an extraordinary mixture of tenderness, humor, and inexhaustible curiosity."--Jonathan Raban. "Mix equal parts anatomy and autobiography, science and self-disclosure, physiology and family history; shake, stir. [S]immer over a low-grade fever of mortality. . . a terrible beauty of a book is born."--Thomas Lynch, The Boston Globe. Pristine paperback ARC w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued. Quite brightly presentable.…
