Instructions by Levin Adam (61 results)

Hardback. Condition: Good. Beginning with a chance encounter with the beautiful Eliza June Watermark and ending, four days and 900 pages later, with the Events of November 17, this is the story of Gurion Maccabee, age ten: a lover, a fighter, a scholar, and a truly spectacular talker. Expelled from three Jewish day-schools for acts of violence and messianic tendencies, Gurion ends up in the Cage, a special lockdown program for the most hopeless cases of Aptakisic Junior High. Separated from his scholarly followers, Gurion becomes a leader of a very different sort, with righteous aims building to a revolution of troubling intensity. The Instructions is an absolutely singular work of fiction by an important new talent. Combining the crackling voice of Philip Roth with the encyclopedic mind of David Foster Wallace, Adam Levin has shaped a world driven equally by moral fervor and slapstick comedy--a novel that is muscular and exuberant, troubling and empathetic, monumental, breakneck, romantic, and unforgettable.…

It is definitely an unforgettable reading experience. Issued without dustjacket, with removable sticker on back cover subbing for info usuallly on dj flaps. Light blue boards decorated with black and gold line drawings and gold lettering. Boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered, perhaps a touch of shelf wear.
