Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 370 pages. Published in 2009. The author's breakthrough debut novel. One of the most important literary debuts of our time.

Published in a small and limited first print run as a softcover original only that sold out shortly after publication. The First Edition is now rare. Presents Philipp Meyer's "American Rust". The concrete, specific truth about the "forgotten" America, long before the paradigm became a national political and cultural obsession. "Set in a beautiful but dying Pennsylvania steel town, 'American Rust' is a novel of the lost American Dream and the desperation that arises from its loss. It is the story of two young men bound to the town by family, responsibility, inertia, and the beauty around them, who dream of a future beyond the factories, abandoned homes, and the polluted river. An extraordinarily moving novel about the bleak realities that battle our desire for transcendence and the power of love and friendship to redeem us" (Publisher's blurb). "Written with considerable dramatic intensity and pace" (Colm Toibin). "Darkly disturbing and richly compelling" (Patricia Cornwell). An absolute "must-have" title for Philipp Meyer collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed and inscribed ("lined") in black ink-pen on the title page by the author: " 'Isaac's mother was dead five years but he hadn't stopped thinking about her'. Philipp Meyer". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The inscription is the very first line of the book. There is no recipient named. This title is a great novel.
