Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. Publishers letter laid in. Monsieur Pinaud; France. "The densely wooded copse near a beautiful manor house in Southern France was a good place to hunt rabbits - and a perfect place to commit murder. M. Pinaud of the Paris Surete had himself heard gunfire and seen four men emerge from the woods. And he had caught in his own arms the frightened girl who tearfully told him where her father, Colonel Romand, now lay, his head shattered by a shotgun blast. M. Pinaud, the greatest detective the Paris Surete had ever known, felt certain the gooting was no tragic accident. But how could he discover the murderer when the entire town of Vallorme rejoiced that Romand was dead. and when so many had such good reason to kill him?" -- Amazon. Book.…

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 278 pages. Published in 1993. The author's sixth novel. One of James Wilcox'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 as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents James Wilcox's "Guest of A Sinner". His full-fledged New York novel centered around his protagonist, Eric Thorsen. After all, the author did spend some time navigating the streets and perils of Manhattan. "Recaptures the antic spirit of his earlier work. A comedy of errors with all sorts of sexual quandaries, not a few downright crazy characters, and a spiritual dimension to top it all off. Among Eric's worries are: His failure to achieve success as a musician. His work teaching music in a settlement house. His totally screwed sex life (for a long time, he dated a nun). His family's unreasonable expectations of him. His older sister, Kaye, a widowed Macy's employee, dates a creepy married man and entertains not-so-repressed incestuous desire for her brother. There is a Waugh-like breeziness to this delightful novel with its genial view of human frailty and its overwhelming patience with things absurd" (Kirkus Reviews). It is a crying shame that James Wilcox's entire body of work has not received the kind of universal recognition that it so richly deserves, otherwise accorded too many inferior, undeserving writers, products of American media hype. The reason is that he writes social comedy - there is no other kind in literature - which is looked down upon as the lesser art, not to be taken seriously, except, of course, by readers and critics who do take literature seriously. An absolute "must-have" title for James Wilcox collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by James Wilcox. 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 in subsequent editions, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. "Modern Baptists" is regarded by Harold Bloom as one of the canonical works of the 20th century. One of the finest writers of the 20th century and our time. A fine copy.
