Various Chicago Authors Compilation (1 results)

Soft cover. Condition: New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Unique, possibly one-of-a-kind signed by 6 of the contributors with photos and promotional postcard. Granta Magazine was founded in 1889 by students at Cambridge University. It is a wonderful literary publication featuring and profiling fine authors from around the globe. This issue #108 is a tribute to Chicago writers. It is one of the very few times that Granta has devoted an entire issue to a specific city. Wrap around cover illustration is by the wonderfully talented and world reknowned Chris Ware who has signed/dated this unique copy. Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveller's Wife, The Three Incestuous Sisters, The Adventuress, and soon to be published, Her Fearful Symmetry has signed this collector's copy. Audrey was on a guest panel in Chicago for Granta Magazine #108 launch. She does not have a story in this issue but is a regular contributor to Granta and can be found on their website. Aleksandar Hemon, author of The Lazarus Project and Nowhere Man was also on the guest panel in Chicago, he does have a story in Granta Magazine #108 and he has also gracioulsy signed the issue. As it turned out I went to a second Granta launch event that same week and got book signed by another three contributors;Alex Kotlowitz, Stuart Dybek and Maria Venegas I will include photos of all six from event(2) as well PLUS.I'll include a special promotional postcard featuring the great cover by Chris Ware. This limited edition special promotional postcard was not available at the launch event. I obtained from a bookseller/comic store. I only have 2 of these.they are great items!
