TLS measuring about 8.25" x 11.5", typed on "Aerogramme" stationery (in which the letter is typed on one side, and folded twice along horizontal folds, gummed closed, to be addressed and stamped on the exterior of the folded letter). Letter of ten lines, SIGNED in ink by Keneally at the close, and addressed by him in manuscript (along with his return address) on the verso. Some smudging to the verso and shallow wear along the edges, but sound and clean overall; very good. A rather early letter from Keneally to an Editorial Assistant at his American publisher, Viking Press. The letter thanks the assistant for the kind words that she had enclosed with "the first copy of my book" (that is, certainly, his own copy of the first American edition of "The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith"). He scolds himself for being a "very bad letter-writer," but assures her that hers is the kind of letter he keeps "to read in dark hours." He goes on to announce that he has sent his next book off to one John Gallagher (not easily identifiable, but possibly his literary agent in Australia, or an Australian editor?). Keneally encourages her to "write any number of ecstatic letters" if she likes the next book as well as she did "Blacksmith." "The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith" was the first of Keneally's novels to make the Booker short-list, and represented a step forward in his literary and popular reputation. It tells the story of an Aboriginal Australian man whose life and surroundings are upended by settler colonialism. Though the book's perspective is unquestionably symnpathetic to its protagonist, it is regarded today as politically incorrect, as Keneally is not Aboriginal himself, and the book purports to tell Jimmy Blacksmith's story through his own eyes. Keneally has stated recently that in retrospect he wishes he had written the same book, and the same story, but through the eyes of a white man rather than Blacksmith himself. Keneally is one of Australia's most successful and widely read authors, and his Irish heritage has informed much of his writing. He is best known for his 1982 novel Schindler's Ark, which was published in the US as "Schindler's List," and was the basis for the epic 1993 film of that title directed by Steven Spielberg. While his autograph is not unobtainably rare, letters from his early career are scarce in the trade. Provenance: We purchased these letters from the recipient, who is very much alive, and who sold these letters privately in the process of thinning out her possessions to move house.

Descripci�n de la librer�a

As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
