Hardback. A literary event--the long-awaited novel, almost two decades in work, by the acclaimed author of "The Tunnel". Gass's new novel moves from World War II Europe to a small town in postwar Ohio. In a series of variations, Gass gives us a mosaic of a life--futile, comic, anarchic--arranged in an array of vocabularies, altered rhythms, forms and tones, and broken pieces with music as both theme and structure, set in the key of middle C. It begins in Graz, Austria, 1938. Joseph Skizzen's father, pretending to be Jewish, leaves his country for England with his wife and two children to avoid any connection with the Nazis, who he foresees will soon take over his homeland. In London with his family for the duration of the war, he disappears under mysterious circumstances. The family is relocated to a small town in Ohio, where Joseph Skizzen grows up, becomes a decent amateur piano player, in part to cope with the abandonment of his father, and creates as well a fantasy self--a professor with a fantasy goal: to establish the Inhumanity Museum . . . as Skizzen alternately feels wrongly accused (of what?) and is transported by his music. Skizzen is able to accept guilt for crimes against humanity and is protected by a secret self that remains sinless."Middle C" tells the story of this journey, an investigation into the nature of human identity and the ways in which each of us is several selves, and whether any one self is more genuine than another. William Gass set out to write a novel that breaks traditional rules and denies itself easy solutions, cliff-edge suspense, and conventional surprises. Very good condition. No dust jacket.

Quite legibly signed by the author in thin black felt tip pen on the title page (not on a tip-in page) above his printed name. Purchased in mid April, 2013, from a reputable Washington D. C. dealer. Despite his advanced age, Gass' signature is clean, flowing, and elegant, with none of the unsteadiness that one sometimes finds in writers his age. At almost ninety years old, Gass understandably did not promote the book in person. Gass was 88 years old when this was published and did not tour for this book; the signed editions are probably quite rare. Signed by Author(s).
