About this Item

First edition of this "hilarious, exclamation-point filled novel" (John Freeman). Octavo, original half cloth, bookplate to the front pastedown from â The Private Collection of Secretary Madeleine K. Albright." The collector,ÂMadeleine K. Albright, was the first woman to serve as the U.S. Secretary of State. She acted under President Bill Clinton from 1997 to 2001, leading the United States through foreign policy in the Middle East with the endorsement of military action in Iraq. At the 1998 NATO summit, Albright coined the â 3 Dsâ of NATO, â which is no diminution of NATO, no discrimination and no duplication â " because I think that we donâ t need any of those three â Dsâ to happen.â After her tenure as Secretary of State, she served as chair of the consulting Albright Stonebridge Group and was the Michael and Virginia Mortara Endowed Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy at Georgetown Universityâ s School of Foreign Service. For Albrightâ s contributions to foreign policy and relations that defined a century, President Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Susan Mitchell. With his trademark satirical wit and famously sharp eye for telling detail, Wolfe's I Am Charlotte Simmons draws on extensive observations at campuses across the country to immortalize the early-21st-century college-going experience. â Wolfe is one of the greatest literary stylists and social observers of our much observed postmodern era. . . . A rich, wise, absorbing, and irresistible novel" (Lev Grossman, Time).
