Sobre este artículo
Gun, with Occasional Music by Jonathan Lethem Hardcover First Edition - First Printing Harcourt Brace 1994. author's first book. Fine in Fine- Dust Jacket with a price-clip. NOTE: The jacket is largely fine! The dust jacket art shows what appears to be a crinkling dust jacket, like you might find for hardboiled novels of the 1940's and 1950's. This is just for artistic-aesthetic visuals. The dust jacket itself does not have the wear-and-tear which is shown in the image.
Gun, with Occasional Music is a 1994 novel which blends science fiction and hardboiled detective fiction. It was nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1994. The novel follows the adventures of Conrad Metcalf, a tough guy private detective and a wiseass, through a futuristic version of San Francisco and Oakland, California. Metcalf is hired by a man who claims that he's being framed for the murder of a prominent urologist. Metcalf quickly discovers that nobody wants the case solved: not the victim's ex-wife, not the police, and certainly not the gun-toting kangaroo who works for the local mafia boss.
NOTE: All modern books with dust jackets come with dust jacket covers.
Sinopsis
Gumshoe Conrad Metcalf has problems-there's a rabbit in his waiting room and a trigger-happy kangaroo on his tail. Near-future Oakland is a brave new world where evolved animals are members of society, the police monitor citizens by their karma levels, and mind-numbing drugs such as Forgettol and Acceptol are all the rage. Metcalf has been shadowing Celeste, the wife of an affluent doctor. Perhaps he's falling a little in love with her at the same time. When the doctor turns up dead, our amiable investigator finds himself caught in a crossfire between the boys from the Inquisitor's Office and gangsters who operate out of the back room of a bar called the Fickle Muse. Mixing elements of sci-fi, noir, and mystery, this clever first novel from the author of Motherless Brooklyn is a wry, funny, and satiric look at all that the future may hold.
