Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. NEW First Edition hardcover (Orig. 2010) First Printing * 6.28" x 9.50" x 2.24", 1.58 kg, xxxii+1104 (1136) pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: At his death in 1994, Ralph Ellison left behind roughly 2,000 pp of his unfinished 2nd novel, which he had spent nearly 4 decades writing. Long awaited, it was to have been the work Ellison intended to follow his masterpiece, "Invisible Man". Five years later, Random House published "Juneteenth", drawn from the central narrative of Ellison's unfinished epic. "Three Days Before the Shooting" gathers together in one volume, for the first time, all the parts of that planned opus, including 3 major sequences never before published. Set in the frame of a deathbed vigil, the story is a gripping multi-generational saga centered on the assassination of the controversial, race-baiting U.S. senator Adam Sunraider, who's being tended to by "Daddy" Hickman, the elderly black jazz musician turned preacher who raised the orphan Sunraider as a light-skinned black in rural Georgia. Presented in their unexpurgated, provisional state, the narrative sequences form a deeply poetic, moving, & profoundly entertaining book, brimming w/ humor & tension, composed in Ellison's magical jazz-inspired prose style & marked by his incomparable ear for vernacular speech. Beyond its richly compelling narratives, "Three Days Before the Shooting ." is perhaps most notable for its extraordinary insight into the creative process of one of this country's greatest writers. In various stages of composition and revision, its typescripts and computer files testify to Ellison's achievement and struggle with his material from the mid-1950s until his death forty years later. Three Days Before the Shooting . . . is an essential, fascinating piece of Ralph Ellison's legacy, and its publication is to be welcomed as a major event for American arts and letters. * ABOUT THE AUTHR: RALPH ELLISON (1914-94) was born in Oklahoma and trained as a musician at Tuskegee Institute from 1933 to 1936, at which time a visit to New York and a meeting with Richard Wright led to his first attempts at fiction. Invisible Man won the National Book Award. Appointed to the Academy of American Arts and Letters in 1964, Ellison taught at several institutions, including Bard College, the University of Chicago, and New York University, where he was Albert Schweitzer Professor of Humanities. * ABOUT THE EDITORS: JOHN F. CALLAHAN is Morgan S. Odell Professor of Humanities at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. His writings include a novel, A Man You Could Love. He is the editor of the Modern Library edition of The Collected Essays of Ralph Ellison and is the literary executor of Ralph Ellison's estate. ADAM BRADLEY is an associate professor of English at the University of Colorado at Boulder. He is the author of the forthcoming Ralph Ellison-in-Progress, a critical study of Ellison's unfinished second novel. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. BRADLEY, John Atwater [edited by] [193] pp. Knickerbocker Club, Inc. 1971 Limited edition of 1500 copies of which this is number 415 9 1/2" x 6 3/8" The Knickerbocker Club (known informally as The Knick) is a gentlemen's club in New York City that was founded in 1871. It is considered to be the most exclusive club in the United States and one of the most aristocratic gentlemen's clubs in the world. The term "Knickerbocker" arose partly due to the use of the pen name Diedrich Knickerbocker by writer Washington Irving, and was a byword for a New York patrician, comparable to a "Boston Brahmin". History The 1882 clubhouse, located at Fifth Avenue and 32nd Street The Knickerbocker Club was founded in 1871 by members of the Union Club of the City of New York who were concerned that the club's admission standards had fallen.[6] By the 1950s, urban social club membership was dwindling, in large part because of the movement of wealthy families to the suburbs. In 1959, the Knickerbocker Club considered rejoining the Union Club, merging its 550 members with the Union Club's 900 men, but the plan never came to fruition. The current clubhouse at 2 East 62nd Street, photographed in 2011 The Knick's current clubhouse, a neo-Georgian structure at 2 East 62nd Street, was commissioned in 1913 and completed in 1915, on the site of the former mansion of Josephine Schmid, a wealthy widow. It was designed by William Adams Delano and Chester Holmes Aldrich, and it has been designated a city landmark. Membership Members of the Knickerbocker Club are almost-exclusively descendants of British and Dutch aristocratic families that governed the early 1600s American Colonies or that left the Old Continent for political reasons (e.g. partisans of the Royalist coalition against Cromwell, such as the "distressed Cavaliers" of the aristocratic Virginia settlers), or current members of the international aristocracy. Towards the middle of the 20th century, however, the club opened its door to a few descendants of the Gilded Age's prominent families, such as members of the Rockefeller family.
