Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Editions/First Printings. This offer is for a complete set of Donald Antrims five works - each having been SIGNED by him on their respective title pages. These include: 1) "Elect Mr. Robinson For a Better World" (1993) - His first novel is a wickedly funny tale of a world made riotous by life's mysterious and sometimes violent accidents. In this bold new place -- "at once familiar and not familier, home but not home" neighboring families conduct full-scale wars in local parks, and spike-embedded trenches encircle homes and manicured lawns. 2) "The Hundred Brothers" (1997) - a madcap allegory of family in all its hysteria and glory. Antrim dissects the family and offers a brilliant and brilliantly funny vision of what family, literally or loosely defined, can foster: compassion, brutality, patience, reaction, love, hate. 3) "The Verificationist" (2000) - taking on psychoanalysis and sex, work and family, "The Verificationist" explodes old myths and creates new ones. It is a wildly imagined, superby written novel from a writer whose work has been hailed as "gloriously unhunged." 4) "The Afterlife: A Memoir" (2006) - not a temprally linear coming-of-age memoir. This is a tender and even blackly hilarious portrait of a family--faulty, cracked, enraging--and of a man struggling to learn the nature of his origins. 5) "The Emerald Light in the Air" (2014) - These stories, all published in "The New Yorker" over the last fifteen years, make it clear that Antrim is one of America's most important writers. The story collection that reveals him as a master of the form. Signed by Author(s).

ALL SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, SOME WITH ADDITIONAL PERSONAL INSCRIPTIONS (see below). Nothing for Tigers with light marginal dampstains; all other volumes internally pristine and with only the most trivial defects to the bindings (see below). American poet Hayden Carruth (1921-2008) was the author of more than 30 works and the recipient of numerous awards, including the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the Lannan Literary Award. As noted by the Poetry Foundation, Carruth's writing is "characterized by a calm, tightly controlled, and relatively 'plain' language that belies the intensity of feeling behind the words." The present seven works, offered as a group, represent more than 30 years of his long literary career. The poetry in these volumes is both gritty and playful, inspired by nature, country living, and jazz, as well as Carruth's own personal experiences and struggles with alcoholism, anxiety, and abandonment. As indicated by the inscriptions given below, these works all come from the collection of Laure-Anne Bosselaar (b. 1943) and her husband Kurt Brown (1944-2013). Bosselaar is a Belgian-American poet, translator, and editor who has published numerous works of poetry in multiple languages, including five collections of her own works. She has been given various prizes and recognitions (Pushcart, Isabella Gardner, Breadloaf) and was named Poet Laureate of Santa Barbara in 2019. Sometimes publishing jointly with Bosselaar, Brown was also a prolific poet and editor of anthologies, as well as the founder of the Aspen Writer's Conference, playing a pivotal role in shaping its early vision and establishing Aspen as a literary center. Hayden Carruth and his poet wifeJoe-Anne McLaughlin Carruthwere good friends of Bosselaar and Brown, and the couples would spend time together when visiting their respective cities.Joe-Anne and Bosselaar also gave readings together in the late 1990s and early 2000s. 1) NOTHING FOR TIGERS.
