Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 318 pages. Published in 1991. The author's second collection of short stories. Now considered a contemporary classic. 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. It is known in the United States as "Thirteen Stories And Thirteen Epigraphs", which was published simultaneously with it. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents William T. Vollmann's "Thirteen Stories And Thirteen Epitaphs". One of the earliest and still among the best works by the prolific author. An important achievement and indispensable title in his oeuvre. Probably the most controversial literary figure of his generation, William T. Vollmann is one of the most original and intelligent voices of contemporary American literature. "William T. Vollmann is the only novelist capable of filling the boots of John Barth, William Gaddis, and Thomas Pynchon" (The Washington Post). An absolute "must-have" title for William T. Vollmann collectors. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (British) 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 copy thus. Selected by The New Yorker Magazine as one of "Twenty Writers for the 21st Century". Nominated by the National Book Critics Circle Awards in 2003 for "Rising Up and Rising Down", his multi-volume history on violence. Winner of the National Book Award in 2005 for "Europe Central". One of the finest American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER WILLIAM T. VOLLMANN TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0233987282. no. N° de réf. du vendeur 1228

FROM THE PUBLISHER - This stunning new collection of stories confirms William T. Vollmann's growing reputation as the American writer whose books tower over the work of his contemporaries by virtue of their enormous range, huge ambition, stylistic daring, wide learning, audacious innovation, and sardonic wit' (Washington Post Book World). All these qualities are in evidence in this collection in which the character of the writer and that of some of his intimates - both real and imaginary - surface and resurface in a series of extraordinary situations and encounters. Two astonishing stories frame this collection. The first, The Ghost of Magnetism,' tells about a young man leaving San Francisco to become a sort of literary hobo living on his freeze-dried memories. The last, The Grave of Lost Stories,' describes the death of Poe in a fungus-encrusted tomb somewhere deep in the earth. Here is the colorful and disreputable group of people familiar to us from Vollmann's earlier fiction - pimps, tramps, pornographers, witch doctors, and massage-parlor girls. Within these stories, Vollmann gives us one of the most searching, bizarre, and subversive views of America today. inventory #17067. N° de réf. du vendeur z17067
