A solid copy with firm, square, uncreased spine and no marks to text, but the cover is considerably shelfworn, with some edgewear, and there is significant wear and curling to the corners of the cover and front pages. Pages age-toned. Small bits of discoloration back cover. Erasure of ink marks on front enpaper has almost worn through to reverse (title page). (Someone really did not want to be known as a reader of David Foster Wallace, I guess.) Small crease top corner back cover. SLight dent to spine.
Sinopsis
Published when Wallace was just twenty-four years old, The Broom of the System stunned critics and marked the emergence of an extraordinary new talent. At the center of this outlandishly funny, fiercely intelligent novel is the bewitching heroine, Lenore Stonecipher Beadsman. The year is 1990 and the place is a slightly altered Cleveland, Ohio. Lenore’s great-grandmother has disappeared with twenty-five other inmates of the Shaker Heights Nursing Home. Her beau, and boss, Rick Vigorous, is insanely jealous, and her cockatiel, Vlad the Impaler, has suddenly started spouting a mixture of psycho-babble, Auden, and the King James Bible. Ingenious and entertaining, this debut from one of the most innovative writers of his generation brilliantly explores the paradoxes of language, storytelling, and reality.
