Soft cover. Condition: Good. Erstwhile remainder, cover hole-punched, unread, has shelfwear, foxed edges, o/w clean pages, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine, Good condition. Subtitled 'A Fictional Memoir' and categorized as fiction, the book is semi-autobiographical. In a brief 'Note to the Reader' in the opening pages, Exley writes: "Though the events in this book bear similarity to those of that long malaise, my life, many of the characters and happenings are creations solely of the imagination. In creating such characters, I have drawn freely from the imagination and adhered only loosely to the pattern of my past life. To this extent, and for this reason, I ask to be judged a writer of fantasy." "A FAN'S NOTES is strong, beautiful, American, one of a kind."--Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. "A welcome reminder of what the basic business of literature and of living really is. All fans of art and life should read it."--Jack Kroll, Newsweek. "This is the horrible and hilarious account of a long failure, but a failure which turns into success: the success that this book is. A FAN'S NOTES is one man's life, written with brilliance and insight. No one should have had Exley's life, and no one who has ever read it can forget it."--James Dickey. "Before A FAN'S NOTES, I stand with something like the awe due a miracle."--George P. Elliot. Good copy comes in yellow paperback w/Spanfeller illustration, faded spine, as a handy reading copy.
