1st ed. Fine in dust jacket. EDGAR AWARD WINNER Best First Novel. SIGNED COPY. Basis for the 2001 film of the same name starring Samuel L. Jackson, Colm Feore, and Ann Magnuson. Directed by Kasi Lemmons with Green's screenplay. "In this remarkable first novel, the caveman is Romulus Ledbetter, a Juilliard graduate, husband and father, former mental patient and current resident of a cave in Manhattan's Inwood Park. His valentine is the naked body of Scotty Gales, a homeless former photographer's model. The police say Gales simply froze to death, but Romulus knows that he was killed by agents of the evil Cornelius Gould Stuyvesant, who rules the world from his offices in the Chrysler Building. Sometimes aided--and sometimes humored--by everyone from his daughter Lulu (a police officer) to people he meets on the street, Romulus tracks Scotty's murderer, doggedly following his twisted vision of reality into a world of money and violence where things and people are never what they seem. Although Green's plotting is solid, the narrative draws its power from the superbly realized protagonist. Romulus is that rarity, a truly original character whose fits and rantings retain a dangerous edge and never become lovable tics. Green makes a wonderful debut with this gripping, well-written portrait of modern dislocation and homelessness--although Romulus would object to the latter term: he has a home; it just happens to be in a cave. " -- Publishers Weekly.

Sinopsis

Romulus Ledbetter wasn't always homeless. He once was a devoted husband, father, and Juilliard-trained musician with a bright future. He now lives in a cave in New York City, waging a strenuous one-man fight against an evil and imaginary power broker responsible for society's ills. When Romulus finds a corpse outside his cave one wintry night, he is launched on an obsessive quest for answers that leads him back into the harsh reality of "the civilized world". Suspenseful, deeply moving, and mordantly funny, "The Caveman's Valentine" is a remarkable novel from one of the freshest voices in literature.
