Hardcover. Etat : As New. Etat de la jaquette : As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 320 pages. Published in 1998. Landmark collection of short stories. One of the most valuable collections of its kind ever published in our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with the Softcover Edition. P…ublished in a small and limited print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents "The Best of Crank!". Further expands the (already broad) horizons of science fiction, the most vibrant and innovative literary genre of our time. Rather controversial when the pieces first appeared, as was the magazine, now 21st-century classics, and in the case of some of the contributors, canonical authors: Ursula K. Le Guin, Brian Aldiss, Michael Bishop, and Jonathan Lethem. "Lisa Tuttle's 'Food Man', about the intertwining of anorexia, food, and sex is a gem. 'The Matter of Seggri', Ursula K. Le Guin's description of a world where women live normally and men are raised as breeders, explores many of the themes her novels do, with equal success" (A. Ross). "It's got brains and it's got heart. 'Mood Bender', set in a disturbing dystopian future with 'a mood-based economy', is my favorite. The author zooms through dozens of crazy-true ideas about art, advertising, self-confidence, money, and more" (T. M. ). "It's my privilege to have kicked off the very first issue of Crank with my story 'Clap If You Believe'. It deserves all the accolades it has received as an anthology that moves from strength to strength" (Robert Devereaux). Jonathan Lethem has the most number of contributions, three in all: "Mood Bender", "The Happy Prince", and "Receding Horizon" (co-written with Carter Scholz of "Kafka Americana"). Science fiction is not a sub-genre; it is a full-fledged literary genre that warrants - and will reward - our serious consideration. An absolute "must-have" title for Jonathan Lethem, Ursula K. Le Guin, and contemporary literature collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the Table of Contents by Jonathan Lethem. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. He (rather proudly) pointed arrows at each of his contributions on the page. This title is a great collection. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. Some of the most brilliant writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JONATHAN LETHEM TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0312867409. Signed by Author.
