Sobre este artículo
New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1982. Near fine in near fine dust jacket.. Signed later printing of the first book in the series that made Sue Grafton a household name, introducing PI Kinsey Millhone. The title for the first book in Grafton's famous Alphabet Series was inspired by reading THE GASHLYCRUMB TINIES, a detail characteristic of the black levity that helped made the series so popular. Debuting in the same year as her fellow icon, Sara Paretsky's V.I. Warshawski, Kinsey Millhone was a detective in the classic noir tradition who upended the classic noir clichés, written by an author in conscious dialogue with her genre: "The conclusion of "A Is For Alibi" is deadly serious. It's an ingenious feminist rewriting of one of the most hateful mystery endings of all time, Mickey Spillane's misogynist masterpiece I, THE JURY" (Corrigan). 8'' x 5.25''. Original red boards. Original unclipped ($21.95) color pictorial dust jacket. 276 pages. Signed by Grafton to title page. Jacket with a touch of edgewear to corners and spine ends, one tiny closed tear. Binding with a bit of bumping to corners and spine ends. Tight and clean.
