Etat : FINE. First printing. An unusual short novel by this award-winning author but one written in his "usual style: details accrue slowly, very slowly, through repeated examination of a few key dramatic episodes. In the late 1940s, a teenage boy receives a letter from his recently deceased father. Found among his papers after his death, the letter is full of stern, fatherly platitudes. Friends of the family praise the letter extravagantly; copies are printed up and mailed to their friends. A few years later, one of the boy's college professors analyzes the letter in class." (Library Journal) 152 pp. Fine in a fine dust jacket (as new.). N° de réf. du vendeur 91024

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Near Fine condition. Erstwhile remainder has tiny red line on bottom text block, o/w unmarked, w/intact jacket. "In THE LETTER LEFT TO ME Joseph McElroy brings startling new life to a story of loss. Written by a father to his son almost three years before the father's death, the letter is discovered a few days after the funeral. Powerful and moving when the boy first opens the envelope, his father's sober words warn him against life's distractions. But the real story is what happens to the letter, the disturbing and eventually bizarre process by which it is appropriated by the family and disseminated to their friends and even to strangers. Yet the letter also becomes a point of departure and a core of opportunity from which the son begins to take action in his own curious way. The mysterious achievement of the book is that it evokes both the chaos and the direction of this growth: the son letting things happen; his insights trapped but inspired by the family language, in which grief and love disguise control and possessiveness. THE LETTER LEFT TO ME is alive with the creative force of a young man struggling toward the heart of the matter, finding perhaps his father, beginning to find himself. And through him, the letter that has been found only to be given away is remade into unforeseen knowledge." [jacket copy] "McElroy is the most important American novelist working now. He has written a bildungsroman to set beside The Catcher in the Rye."--Tom LeClair, New Republic. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, a square & tight binding, quite presentable. N° de réf. du vendeur RUB2077
