Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 450 pages. Published in 2017. Volume Ten of The Library of America's definitive Collected Works of Philip Roth. The First Slipcased Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a Slipcased Edition for distribution to libraries and LOA subscribers only. None of the copies was sold to the public. The Slipcased Edition has the same ISBN as the regular trade edition. The Slipcased Edition is now rare. Printed to the highest standards on acid-free paper, utilizing sewn binding, closely woven rayon cloth boards, satin bound-in ribbon marker, and a page layout that is both readable and elegant, each volume is guaranteed to last for several generations of readers and collectors (despite frequent and regular use, the estimated life span of Library of America Editions is 1000 years; un-used, they will last forever). Each volume is scrupulously edited and annotated by Ross Miller. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Volume Ten of The Collected Works of Philip Roth: "Why Write? : Collected Nonfiction 1960-2013". A necessary - and delightful - afterthought, the tenth and final volume in the LOA Series. Why? Because it is the "definitive edition of his essential statements on literature, his controversial novels, and the writing life" (Publisher's blurb). In addition to the final versions of "Reading Myself And Others" and "Shop Talk" is "Explanations", fourteen pieces brought together for the very first time. There's more: Two full-length Interviews Roth gave after his retirement, which appear in book form in this edition only. Philip Roth was only the third writer to be so honored by The Library of America while still alive. Published in chronological order, the entire oeuvre consists of ten volumes in all and will surely be regarded as one of the "high spots" in The Library of America Series. Roth famously announced in 2012 that he has permanently stopped writing. The later pieces in this collection show that, aside from the need to clear up some nagging questions (such as his New Yorker Magazine essay attacking Wikipedia), he kept his word. Philip Roth died on May 22, 2018 of congestive heart failure, literally of heartbreak, at the age of 85. An absolute "must-have" title for Philip Roth collectors. This title is a great collection. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the First Library of America Slipcased Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare copy thus. Six of Philip Roth's novels were selected as among the Top 20 works of American fiction of the last 25 years: "American Pastoral", "The Counterlife", "Operation Shylock", "Sabbath's Theater", "The Human Stain", and "The Plot Against America". One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER PHILIP ROTH TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1598535404. no.

Without DJ, as issued. Presents Volume Four of The Collected Works of Philip Roth: "The Ghost Writer", "Zuckerman Unbound", "The Anatomy Lesson", and "The Prague Orgy". The trilogy and epilogue that constitute Roth's wholly original investigation into the unforeseen consequences of art, mainly in libertarian America, and then, by contrast, in Soviet-suppressed Eastern Europe. The LOA volume marks the inclusion and very first publication of his adaptation of "The Prague Orgy" for American television, which features characters and scenes that are not found in the novella. Nathan Zuckerman appears (as a wry writer/observer rather than omniscient genius/conscience) in three more major novels: "Exit Ghost" was published in the same month as the present volume, echoes the first novel, "The Ghost Writer", and is Zuckerman's eighth, and final, appearance in the Rothian universe.

Presents Volume Seven of The Collected Works of Philip Roth: "American Pastoral", "I Married A Communist", and "The Human Stain". Gathers together the masterly American Trilogy, a milestone in contemporary literature. "In 'American Pastoral' (1997), Swede Levov is wrenched from the tranquillity of his domestic life and into the turbulent 1960's by his cherished daughter, an antiwar terrorist. 'I Married A Communist' (1998), a story of betrayal set in America's anti-Communist 1940's, recounts the rise and fall of radio star Ira Ringold, exposed by his wife as 'an American taking his orders from Moscow'. 'The Human Stain' (2000) is set in 1998, when America is whipped into a frenzy of prurience by the impeachment of the President. In a small New England college town, an aging Classics professor, Coleman Silk, is forced to retire when his colleagues decree that he is a racist. The charge is a lie, but the real truth about Silk would astonish his most virulent accuser" (Publisher's blurb).

Without DJ, as issued. Presents Volume Three of The Collected Works of Philip Roth: "The Great American Novel", "My Life As A Man", and "The Professor of Desire". Three markedly different novels that together trace a crucial period in the bold evolution of one of America's indispensable novelists. "Surely the funniest novel ever written about baseball, 'The Great American Novel' (1973) turns our national pastime into unfettered picaresque farce. The cast of improbable characters includes Gil Gamesh, the pitcher who actually tried to kill the umpire, John Baal, the ex-con first baseman, and the House Un-American Activities Committee. 'My Life As A Man' (1974), Roth's most blistering novel, presents the treacherous world of Strindberg nearly a century later in the story of a fierce marital tragedy of obsession and blindness and desperate need. 'The Professor of Desire' (1977), the novel that prompted Milan Kundera to proclaim Roth 'a great historian of modern eroticism', follows an adventurous man of intelligence and feeling into and out of the tempting wilderness of erotic possibility" (Publisher's blurb). "One knows when one is reading something that will permanently enter the culture" (Cynthia Ozick). "Our foremost novelist since Faulkner" (Harold Bloom).

As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Library of America Slipcased Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: The First Slipcased Edition was distributed to libraries and LOA subscribers only. None of the copies was sold to the public. Copies available online have serious flaws, have the bookstore's stamp, or are subsequent printings yet command hundreds of dollars. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Six of Philip Roth's novels were selected as among the Top 20 works of American fiction of the last 25 years: "American Pastoral", "The Counterlife", "Operation Shylock", "Sabbath's Theater", "The Human Stain", and "The Plot Against America". One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER PHILIP ROTH TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1931082960. Signed by Author.

Book First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 450 pages. Published in 2017. Volume Ten of The Library of America's definitive Collected Works of Philip Roth. 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. Printed to the highest standards on acid-free paper, utilizing sewn binding, closely woven rayon cloth boards, satin bound-in ribbon marker, and a page layout that is both readable and elegant, each volume is guaranteed to last for several generations of readers and collectors (despite frequent and regular use, the estimated life span of Library of America Editions is 1000 years; un-used, they will last forever). Each volume is scrupulously edited and annotated by Ross Miller. Presents Volume Ten of The Collected Works of Philip Roth: "Why Write? : Collected Nonfiction 1960-2013". A necessary - and delightful - afterthought, the tenth and final volume in the LOA Series. Why? Because it is the "definitive edition of his essential statements on literature, his controversial novels, and the writing life" (Publisher's blurb). In addition to the final versions of "Reading Myself And Others" and "Shop Talk" is "Explanations", fourteen pieces brought together for the very first time. There's more: Two full-length Interviews Roth gave after his retirement, which appear in book form in this edition only. Philip Roth was only the third writer to be so honored by The Library of America while still alive. Published in chronological order, the entire oeuvre consists of ten volumes in all and will surely be regarded as one of the "high spots" in The Library of America Series. Roth famously announced in 2012 that he has permanently stopped writing. The later pieces in this collection show that, aside from the need to clear up some nagging questions (such as his New Yorker Magazine essay attacking Wikipedia), he kept his word. Philip Roth died on May 22, 2018 of congestive heart failure, literally of heartbreak, at the age of 85. An absolute "must-have" title for Philip Roth collectors. This copy of Volume Ten is very boldly and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Philip Roth. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a great collection. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Library of America Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright.
