New York City, NY: Viking, 2006. First Edition. First Printing.. Hardcover. Fine/Fine Dust Jacket.. New York City, NY: Viking, 2006. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Edition/First Printing. 340 pages. The author's eleventh novel. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents T. Coraghessan Boyle's "Talk Talk". Tackles in the form of a sophisticated literary thriller the very contemporary anxiety called identity theft. "Will appeal even to John Grisham readers. For those who like literary meat in their page-turners, Boyle's knack for nuanced and intelligent characterization and language hasn't deserted him here. Although it's difficult to put it down once the chase begins, few readers will be able to make it past the first chapters without frantically heading to the Internet to learn how to obtain their annual credit reports" (The Los Angeles Times). If Gore Vidal is America's preeminent literary historian, T. C. Boyle is its preeminent literary anthropologist. Boyle's singular look at the Age of the Internet. An absolute "must-have" title for T. Coraghessan Boyle collectors. This copy is boldly and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by T. Coraghessan Boyle. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the finest American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER T. CORAGHESSAN BOYLE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0670037702.
