Sobre este artículo
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Doubleday, 1976. A bit of (typical) scuffing to the extremes edges of the dust jacket. A tight, clean copy of this, the author's first novel. A bit difficult to locate in this protected condition due to the spartan materials the publisher used back in the seventies. 283 pp. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine.
Sinopsis
Born in 1947, Ann Beattie grew up in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., attended college at American University, and went on to do graduate work in English literature at the University of Connecticut. She began writing stories out of frustration with her doctoral work. After rejecting twenty-two submissions, The New Yorker published Beattie's "A Platonic Relationship" in 1974, and Beattie became a regular contributor to the magazine. Her first collection of stories, Distortions , and her first novel, Chilly Scenes of Winter , appeared simultaneously in 1976 and initiated a long-standing critical debate as to whether Beattie's greater strength is in the story or the novel. All critics agree, however, on the uniqueness of her style and her uncanny ability to expose certain truths about contemporary life, particularly as it lived by those of her own generation and social class. She lives in Maine and Key West with her husband, the painter Lincoln Perry.
