Sobre este artículo

New York City, NY: Picador, 2018. First Edition. First Printing.. Softcover. As New/No Dust Jacket, As Issued.. New York City, NY: Picador, 2018. Softcover. As New/None, As Issued. First Edition/First Printing. 245 pages. The 25th Anniversary Edition of the author's breakthrough debut novel. One of the most sensational literary debuts of the late-20th century. The 2018 Picador 25th Anniversary Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent printings, of which there are many. Published in a small and limited first print run as a softcover original only. Without DJ, as issued. The First Edition is now scarce. "Signed Edition" red oval sticker pasted in front. Re-presents, in a lovely New Edition, Jeffrey Eugenides' "The Virgin Suicides". Unsurpassed in its evocation of the mystery of sibling suicide and family melancholy. With a New Appreciation by Emma Cline, the brilliant young American novelist, which appears in this Edition only. The unforgettable story of the multiple suicides of the radiantly beautiful, precocious, and self-destructive Lisbon sisters, based on a true story, is recounted by one of their adoring boy-witnesses. "A rare first novel that ends, wondrously, on a note of the profoundest grief" (John Hawkes). Jeffrey Eugenides was once complacently labeled as yet another writer of the American-immigrant experience, a label he successfully resisted because he completely transcends it. As a stylist, there are few writers among Eugenides' generation whose mastery of the English language is complete and whose poetic sensibility makes his novels exquisite: "Middlesex" is his second novel, after a long hiatus. "The Marriage Plot" only his third, after another long hiatus. The basis of the very fine film debut by Sofia Coppola, with Kirsten Dunst and Josh Hartnett. An absolute "must-have" title for Jeffrey Eugenides collectors. This Autographed Copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on top of the title page by the author: "Eugenides". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The author signs like his Greek ancestors, with his family name only. This title is a great book. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the Picador 25th Anniversary Edition/First Printing (2018) available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. It is the single most beautiful signed copy we have ever seen. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the Aga Khan Prize for Fiction in 1991 and the Ingram Merrill Foundation Fellowship in 1992 for "The Virgin Suicides". Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 2003 for "Middlesex". The author was selected as one of "Twenty Writers for the 21st Century" on the basis of his first published work of fiction. One of the most brilliant writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JEFFREY EUGENIDES TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 1250303540.
