Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 393 pages. Published in 2020. Retrospective collection of journalistic accounts. One of the best anthologies of its kind ever published in our time. Uncorrected Proof. Precedes and should not be confused with the regular trade edition. Published in a small and limited first print run by Ecco Press as a softcover original only for the exclusive use of the publisher and author only. The ISBN is the same as the regular trade edition. The Uncorrected Proof is now rare. Presents, in its earliest-state format, "Unspeakable Acts: True Tales of Crime, Murder, Deceit, And Obsession". Edited by the estimable and indefatigable crime-writer Sarah Weinman. Foreword by Patrick Radden Keefe, the brilliant New Yorker Magazine writer, who has written similar Crime Profiles himself. "The appeal of true-crime stories has never been higher. The cultural appetite for stories of real people doing terrible things is insatiable. Culls together some of the most refreshing and exciting contemporary journalists and chroniclers of crime working today: Michelle Dean's 'Dee Dee Wanted Her Daughter To Be Sick Gypsy Wanted Her Mom To Be Murdered' went viral when it was first published, and is the basis of 'The Act'. Pamela Colloff's 'The Reckoning' is the gold standard of forensic journalism" (Publisher's blurb). There are thirteen pieces in all, each one of them makes us understand why crime stories transfix and are impossible to resist. An absolute must-have title for Sarah Weinman, Patrick Radden Keefe and true-crime collectors. This title is a great collection. As far as we know, this is the only Uncorrected Proof available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare copy thus. Some of the most brilliant journalist-writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO PATRICK RADDEN KEEFE TITLE IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0062839888. no.

"A panoramic portrait of 1930's Georgia, where poverty and violence collide with wealth and family: Born and Bred, White and Black, Rich and Poor. Two babies are born on a sharecropper's farm in Cotton County, one light-skinned, the other dark-skinned, twins born to Juke Jessup's daughter, Elma. With help from Nan, the black housekeeper, the two women raise the babies in a world that is collapsing around them. A lynching on the farm sets off a series of secrets and lies. Will the truth set them free or bury them alive? Unravels the hardship of a small town in the South, and how abuse, inequality, and racism scar and wound generation after generation" (Al Woodworth).

This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed, placed, and dated (shortly after publication) in black ink-pen on the title page by the author: "Eleanor Henderson 11/16/17 NYC".

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 228 pages. Published in 2007. The author's ninth novel. Now considered a contemporary classic. 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 Edmund White's "Hotel De Dream: A New York Novel". His historical-cum-romance novel on Stephen Crane. Think Colm Toibin's "The Master" (on Henry James) rather than any of the deadly historical novels by American journalists and ex-politicians. White regards Crane as the equal of the American Masters: Hawthorne, Whitman, Dickinson, and Thoreau. Unlike these "above-board" (if also enigmatic) figures, Crane was an underground character by choice, who regularly patronized prostitutes, including Mrs. Cory Crane, a madam who owned a bordello called Hotel de Dream. White evocatively imagines the last days of the 19th-century literary giant whose masterpiece, "The Red Badge of Courage", is required reading in English literature courses throughout the world. "White portrays the tragic moments of Stephen Crane on his deathbed, wasting away from tuberculosis, dictating a final novel of White's invention called 'The Painted Boy' [which is about Stephen Crane's encounter with a beautiful boy-prostitute]. As the writer's last work explores a tale of lust, survival, and love, White simultaneously conjures the "true-love" romance between Stephen and the woman known as Mrs. Crane. Although they were never legally wed, they called each other husband and wife, and White creates a poignant portrait of the tenderness. While she cares for him through his final days, the couple are visited by the likes of Joseph Conrad and Henry James. Ultimately, Crane's unfinished manuscript is handed over to James to be polished and completed. Brilliantly researched and aching with life, 'Hotel de Dream' is a testament to love in all its forms" (Publisher's blurb and our comments). "One of the three or four most virtuosic living writers of sentences in the English language" (Dave Eggers). An absolute "must-have" title for Edmund White collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in blue ink-pen on the half-title page by Edmund White. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and despite its imperfection (browning of page edges because of inferior paper used by the publisher) is still in fine condition overall: Clean, crisp, and bright. It is priced accordingly. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1994 for "Genet". Anointed by Vladimir Nabokov as his American successor. One of the finest American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER EDMUND WHITE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0060852259. Signed by Author.

One of the most important literary debuts of our time. 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 that sold out shortly after publication. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Bill Cheng's "Southern Cross The Dog". Quirkily titled, epically evoked, beautifully written. "The bonds between three childhood friends are upended by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. In its aftermath, one young man must choose between the lure of the future and the claims of the past. Having lost virtually everything in the fearsome storm - home, family, first love - Robert Chatham embarks on an odyssey that takes him through the Deep South. Teeming with language that renders both the savage beauty and complex humanity of our shared past, a tour-de-force that heralds the arrival of a major new voice" (Publisher's blurb). Despite its accessible prose, it is a demanding (but rewarding) read. Hailed by critics as our "Southern Gothic" novelist, the successor to Flannery O'Connor, William Faulkner, and Cormac McCarthy; the only other contemporary writer of comparable ambition and stature is Philipp Meyer ("American Rust"). An absolute "must-have" title for Bill Cheng collectors. This copy is very densely and beautifully signed, dated (shortly after publication), and inscribed ("lined") in black ink-pen on the title page by the author: "5/20/13 'I look on you and I'm the one who has been left behind. Sometimes I can glimpse the world in which you live. It's a place better than this one - where our sons still live, and we are young, and your husband is a better man, and not this damned fool beside you, holding out his nigger heart'. Bill Cheng".

After the unexpected death, Pietro becomes enveloped in a strange calm, and he spends each day outside his daughter's school, observing the quiet rhythms of life. His bosses visit him to share cryptic information about a messy corporate merger and his co-workers, buckling under the strain of the merger, turn to him for advice and go a little crazy. Things get even messier when Pietro encounters the woman he rescued, Eleonora, a wealthy seductress, whose life has also been upended by that pivotal moment" (Publishers Weekly). The basis of the great film by Antonello Grimaldi (whose screenplay was written by Veronesi), with Alessandro Gassman, Antonella Attili, and Nanni Moretti.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 832 pages. Published in 2019. Definitive Biography. 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. Orange "Signed Copy" sticker pasted in front. Presents Benjamin Moser's "Sontag: Her Life And Work". A fair-minded yet hard-hitting account on the greatest American writer-intellectual of our time. Moser recounts The Life of an insecure, arrogant, and cruel genius, who made life for everyone close to her a living hell. Although Moser never uses the word, Sontag could be monstrous; her relationship with Annie Leibovitz was pure sado-masochism (in the relational sense). Leibovitz supported Sontag to the tune of at least eight million dollars, giving her a $15000 weekly allowance, among other largesse-favors, a generosity that Sontag resented rather than felt grateful for: How can a hard-working, high-achieving writer like her make next to nothing compared to a crassly commercial - and in her view, minimally talented - photographer like Leibovitz? So she treated the latter as her inferior, as geniuses tend to do. But then, there is The Work, around which Moser weaves a dazzling "theme-and-variations" narrative-argument about "reality-versus-fantasy" and "aesthetics-as-ethics". His appraisal illuminates not just Sontag's body of work, but ALL of 20th-century literature, philosophy, and art. There is a reason why a Sontag essay was such an exciting event: She made us aware, in each instance, that the question, "What is the meaning of life", is the wrong one because it leads us to seek and "find" absolute answers, in God and religion, in The Great Leader and the omnipotent state, in theory, ideology, and "wisdom" that inevitably fail us. Instead, each of her greatest essays asks, "Why does everything matter - and nothing else?". In Sontag's case, "everything" is literature, the arts, and civilization itself as well as freedom, justice, the suffering, and the inalienable rights of others. An absolute "must-have" title for Susan Sontag and Benjamin Moser collectors. This Autographed Copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in blue pen-marker on the title page by Benjamin Moser. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a great book. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws because the book is massive, unwieldy, and as such, impossible to transport in large quantities by the publisher without causing damage. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 2020 for "Sontag: Her Life And Work". A fine collectible copy.
