Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 147 pages. Published in 1995. The author's seventh novel to be translated into English. One of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's finest achievements. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, of which there are many. Published in a regular first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "Del amor y otros demonios" in a felicitous English translation by Edith Grossman. An unsettling and indelible account of a doomed love affair between a seductive young woman and a priest, a coupling that seems to be something of a Latin-American specialty, pointing to the larger theme of the encounter and collision between Indigenous sensuality and erotic desire versus oppressive European refinement and restraint. The American Edition has a different DJ design (by the legendary and infallible Chip Kidd) from the British, and comes in a format that is considerably larger than the latter. However, it should also be noted that the British has a dazzling DJ design, possibly superior to the American. "The agelessness of the human story is told by one of this century's most evocative writers" (Anne Tyler).

"A great man has died, one whose works gave the literature of our language great reach and prestige" (Mario Vargas Llosa). An absolute "must-have" title for Gabriel Garcia Marquez collectors.

Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents David Rakoff's "Love Dishonor Marry Die Cherish Perish". His masterly novel-in-verse, a triumphant departure from his satirical essays, and his "closing-time" statement. Attempted as such by only one other contemporary poet/novelist, Vikram Seth ("The Golden Gate"). "A poignant, beautiful, witty, and wise novel in verse whose scope spans the twentieth century. Written with humor, sympathy, and tenderness, this intricately woven novel proves him to be the master of an altogether different art form. Leaps cities and decades as Rakoff sings the song of an America whose freedoms can be intoxicating, or brutal. The characters' lives are linked to each other by acts of generosity or cruelty" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for David Rakoff collectors. This is a Review Copy.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Rakoff, David (illustrations); Kidd, Chip (book design and jacket design) (illustrator). 1st Edition. As new condition dark gray boards, red spine, and silver spine lettering contained in a near fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote by Addison De Witt and Acknowledgments. Illustrated by the author with black-and-white drawings. Signed and inscribed by the author/illustrator, David Rakoff (November 27, 1964 - August 9, 2012), with thin black ink on the full title page. "You've heard him on This American Life! Now read his book! Wherever he is, David Rakoff is a fish out of water. Whether impersonating Sigmund Freud in a department store window during the holidays, climbing an icy mountain in cheap loafers, playing an evil modeling agent on a daytime soap opera, or learning primitive survival skills in the woods of New Jersey, Rakoff doesn't belong. Nor does he try to. Still, he continually finds himself off in the far-flung hinterlands of our culture, notebook or microphone in hand, hoping to conjure that dyed-in-the-wool New York condescension. And Rakoff tries to be nasty; heaven knows nothing succeed like the cheap sneer, but he can't quite help noticing that these are actual human beings he's writing about. In his attempts not to pull any punches, the most damaging blows, more often than not, land squarely on his own jaw - hilariously satirizing the writer, not the subject. And therein lie David Rakoff's genius and his burgeoning appeal. The wry and the heartfelt join in his prose to resurrect that most neglected of literary virtues: wit. Read the blurbs again on the back. They signal the arrival of a brilliant new American essayist. (Okay, Canadian.)" - from the inner front jacket flap. "David Rakoff's hilarious, bittersweet stories are epic struggles - between smoky bars and the great outdoors, management and labor, Santa Claus and Sigmund Freud, New York versus everywhere else, and, not least, neighbor-to-the-North against South. Rakoff is such an American original it turns out he's Canadian. Vive the brain drain!" - Sarah Vowell, author of Take the Cannoli. "David Rakoff is a comic saint: He travels to unspeakable lands, chats with lunatics, and we reap the rewards. He is a sublime tour giude, an ideal mix of the crabby and the debonair." - Paul Rudnick, author. "It's hard to come up with a pithy remark for the back of this book, knowing that the author could - in half the time and a third of the words - come up with something funnier, more piercing, and more deeply revealing. Like a whore with a heart of gold, David Rakoff says all the nasty things we want to hear and then reveals, after we've paid our money, that actually it's all about love." - Ira Glass, This American Life. "Rakoff likes to paint himself as a sneering, city-slick New Yorker , urbane to a fault, an outsider anywhere unpaved. But then, in the woods, on a mountaintop, looking for 'Hidden People' outside Reyhjavik, he reveals himself, despite his searing and hilarious observations, his 'effete lexicon,' to be a completey unrelenting romantic, always looking for, and often finding, experiences that edify and cleanse people who are true and good. And while he doesn't seem to count himself among their ranks, it takes one to know one." - Dave Eggers, author. Signed by Author(s).
