About this Item
Black paper-covered boards with black backstrip and red metallic lettering. Minor bump to head and heel of spine. Text is clean and bright, no marks. Unclipped DJ shows hint of edgewear, light bump to upper corners. The story of James Leer, a troubled young "wonder boy" whose obsession with Hollywood suicides leads him to commit a pair of startling crimes. Therby his destiny becomes entangled with that of his writing teacher, Grady Tripp, a former prodigy whose penchant for self-destruction is exceeded only by the twenty-six hundred pages of his unfinished magnum opus, Wonder Boys- a leviathan of a novel that is devouring his life. (from the jacket). Seller Inventory # A11714
