Title old sweetheart (1 resultados)

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 215 pages. Published in 1982. The author's breakthrough debut novel. One of the most important American literary debuts of the 20th century. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Susanna Moore's "My Old Sweetheart". Her first book, about the complexity of human relationships and the richness of human experience. Told from a twelve-year-old girl's perspective that somehow manages to touch on such subjects as despair, adultery, and even suicide in a moving yet unsentimental way. Only one (much more recent) novel comes immediately to mind in its compelling power: Edward St. Aubyn's "Mother's Milk" (2006), inimitably seen from the boy/son's point of view. "What a strange and lovely book with none of the muddy shabbiness that one finds in lesser prolonged rituals of growth. She writes like an angel who has taken a lifelong course in demonology" (Jim Harrison). An absolute "must-have" title for Susanna Moore collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Susanna Moore. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a late-modern 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, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. Winner of the Pen/Ernest Hemingway Citation and The Sue Kaufman Prize from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. One of the finest American writers of our time. A fine copy.
