Sobre este artículo
(New York): The New American Library, 1966. First edition. Very good plus in very good jacket.. First printing, in which a dying philosopher travels from San Francisco to Batavia, New York (Gardner's own hometown) for his last days, to do as much thinking as possible before terminal illness, childhood memories, and Upstate gloom join forces to drag him to his end. Gardner's first novel, with an approach and a set of preoccupations that would recur throughout Gardner's writing career. As the author would say some years later: "I'm not sure that being a philosophical novelist is better than being some other kind, but I guess that there's not much doubt that, in a way at least, that's what I am. A writer's material is what he cares about, and I like philosophy the way some people like politics, or football games, or unidentified flying objects." 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original half black cloth with brown paper boards, gilt-lettered spine. In original unclipped ($4.95) dust jacket, designed by Ken Braren. Tan endpapers. [10], 244 pages. Mild wear to boards at extremities. Tiny chipping to spine ends, faint soil and creasing to jacket panels. Tape reinforcement to jacket verso at heel of spine. Occasional foxing to pages.
