Mickelsson's Ghosts

Descripción

Here you have a FIRST EDITION of the last novel by John Gardner, published in 1982. It follows Peter Mickelsson, former football player and current Professor of Philosophy at Binghamton University. Mickelsson is driven, opinionated, probably a drunk, definitely bankrupt, and perhaps going completely mad. During his personal descent, which he seems powerless to stop, he somehow scrounges enough money together to buy a farmhouse in northern Pennsylvania, which seems to be haunted by the ghosts of an incestuous family. During his more and more frequent absences from reality, the self-destructive Mickelsson has several affairs (including one with a young prostitute, and one with a fellow faculty member who unsuccessfully attempts to help him put his life together), inadvertently causes a death, and becomes involved with a sectarian religious group which may or may not be entirely imagined. This is a First Edition in VERY GOOD shape with an archival protector over the dust jacket - a really nice copy of a great writer's final work. This is a rare collectible FIRST EDITION from a talented author. You will be thrilled to own this book. Check out the pictures. N° de ref. del artículo ABE-3267052436
