Hilarious and poignant, The Gargoyle Hunters is a love letter to a vanishing city, and a deeply emotional story of fathers and sons. Intimately portraying New York s elbow-jostling relationship with time, the novel solves the mystery of a brazen and seemingly impossible architectural heist - the theft of an entire historic Manhattan building - that stunned the city and made the front page of The New York Times in 1974. With both his family and his city fracturing, thirteen-year-old Griffin Watts is recruited into his estranged father's illicit and dangerous architectural salvage business. Small and nimble, Griffin is charged with stealing exuberantly expressive nineteenth-century architectural sculptures - gargoyles - right off the faces of unsung tenements and iconic skyscrapers all over town. As his father explains it, these gargoyles, carved and cast by immigrant artisans during the city's architectural glory days, are an endangered species in this era of sweeping urban renewal. Desperate both to connect with his father and to raise cash to pay the mortgage on the brownstone where he lives with his mother and sister, Griffin is slow to recognize that his father's deepening obsession with preserving the architectural treasures of Beaux Arts New York is also a destructive force, imperiling Griffin's friendships, his relationship with his very first girlfriend, and even his life. As his father grows increasingly possessive of both Griffin s mother and his scavenged touchstones of the lost city, Griffin must learn how to build himself into the person he wants to become and discover which parts of his life can be salvaged - and which parts must be let go. Maybe loss, he reflects, is the only thing no one can ever take away from you. Tender, funny, and achingly sad, The Gargoyle Hunters introduces an extraordinary new novelist.

Soft cover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 178 pages. Published in 2019. The author's book-length account on politics, presented as a Dictionary of Key Words. One of the most valuable literary and cultural events of our time. The First Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a softcover original and an FSG Originals title only. Presents John Freeman's "Dictionary of The Undoing". From one of the most intelligent and eloquent literary voices of our time, the Key Words, in alphabetical order, of the present moment of severe American and global political crisis: "From A to Z, from Agitate to Zygote". "Assembles the words that feel most essential, most potent, to build a case for their renewed power and authority, each word building on the last. The message is not to retreat behind books, but to emphatically engage in the public sphere, to redefine what it means to be a literary citizen. A necessary, resounding cri de coeur in defense of language, meaning, and our ability to imagine, describe, and build a better world" (Publisher's blurb). "How to be good in bad times? How to speak truth? Why read? Why write? Why bother? It is a symptom of our ongoing catastrophe that such questions must be asked, but we're lucky that John Freeman is out there looking for some answers. Language is Freeman's primary concern. He sets out to reclaim it and restore what was damaged by the onslaught of evil and idiocy" (Aleksandar Hemon). With an Afterword by the brilliant young novelist Valeria Luiselli, this is the best title in the FSG Originals series since Wayne Koestenbaum's "My 1980s And Other Essays" (2013). An absolute "must-have" title for John Freeman collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in blue ink-pen on the title page by John Freeman. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: John Freeman did NOT tour to promote the book. Published as a softcover original only. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant new voices of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 0374538859. Signed by Author.

Soft cover. Condition: New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Unique, possibly one-of-a-kind signed by 6 of the contributors with photos and promotional postcard. Granta Magazine was founded in 1889 by students at Cambridge University. It is a wonderful literary publication featuring and profiling fine authors from around the globe. This issue #108 is a tribute to Chicago writers. It is one of the very few times that Granta has devoted an entire issue to a specific city. Wrap around cover illustration is by the wonderfully talented and world reknowned Chris Ware who has signed/dated this unique copy. Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveller's Wife, The Three Incestuous Sisters, The Adventuress, and soon to be published, Her Fearful Symmetry has signed this collector's copy. Audrey was on a guest panel in Chicago for Granta Magazine #108 launch. She does not have a story in this issue but is a regular contributor to Granta and can be found on their website. Aleksandar Hemon, author of The Lazarus Project and Nowhere Man was also on the guest panel in Chicago, he does have a story in Granta Magazine #108 and he has also gracioulsy signed the issue. As it turned out I went to a second Granta launch event that same week and got book signed by another three contributors;Alex Kotlowitz, Stuart Dybek and Maria Venegas I will include photos of all six from event(2) as well PLUS.I'll include a special promotional postcard featuring the great cover by Chris Ware. This limited edition special promotional postcard was not available at the launch event. I obtained from a bookseller/comic store. I only have 2 of these.they are great items!
