The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Ha Jin's "The Crazed". His masterly novel. Ha Jin, who writes only in English, cemented his reputation with "Waiting", which was lavished with critical praise and literary awards. He has been compared to Dickens, Balzac, and Isaac Babel. "Like Babel, Ha Jin observes everything. Yet he tells the reader only, and precisely, as much as is needed to make his deceptively simple fiction resonate on many levels" (The New York Times). Ha Jin came to the United States as an adult barely able to speak English. He still has difficulty speaking it and has said that the main impetus for writing is the opportunity it affords him to sit down and write and re-write, edit and re-edit, and start all over again if necessary until he is satisfied with the result. He uses his acquired language as a storyteller and poet of the first rank who bears witness to the collision between personal experience (in all its pain, beauty, and complexity) and the arbitrary suffering that History, Fate, and Destiny inflict upon all human beings, whether they be powerful or powerless. His sympathy for every human being in all his or her particularity is unsurpassed among contemporary American writers. "Reading Ha Jin is like falling in love: You experience anxiety, profound self-consciousness, and an uncomfortable sensitivity to the world, and somehow it's a pleasure. Like the best writers, Ha Jin sneaks emotional power into the plainest sentences" (The New Yorker Magazine). An absolute "must-have" title for Ha Jin collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Ha Jin. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page, as copies available online are. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. Winner of the PEN/Hemingway Award for "Ocean of Words". Winner of the Flannery O'Connor Award For Short Fiction for "Under The Red Flag". Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award and the National Book Award in 1999 for "Waiting". One of the finest writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER HA JIN TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0375421815.

Condition: FINE. First printing. The third novel by this award-winning author (his previous novel, "Waiting," won both the National Book Award and the Pen/Faulkner award.)

Professor Yang, a respected teacher of literature at a provincial university, has had a stroke, and his student Jian Wan - who is also engaged to Yang's daughter - has been assigned to care for him. What at first seems a simple if burdensome duty becomes treacherous when the professor begins to rave: pleading with invisible tormentors, denouncing his family, his colleagues, and a system in which a scholar is 'just a piece of meat on a cutting board'.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. First Edition, 1st printing. Signed by Ha Jin on title page. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread in AS NEW condition. "Professor Yang, a respected teacher of literature at a provincial university, has had a stroke, and his student Jian Wan---who is also engaged to Yang's daughter---has been assigned to care for him. What at first seems a simple if burdensome duty becomes treacherous when the professor begins to rave: pleading with invisible tormentors, denouncing his family, his colleagues, and a system in which a scholar is 'just a piece of meat on a cutting board.' Are these just manifestations of illness, or is Yang spewing up the truth? And can the dutiful Jian avoid being irretrievably compromised? For in a China convulsed by the Tiananmen uprising, those who hear the truth are as much at risk as those who speak it. At once nuanced and fierce, earthy and humane, THE CRAZED is further evidence of Ha Jin's prodigious narrative gifts." Pristine book w/sharp corners & crisp edges, square & tight binding. Quite presentable & collectible. Signed by Author.
