Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 287 pages. Published in 2008. The authors' account on the Iraq War. Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Philip Gourevitch's and Errol Morris' "Standard Operating Procedure". SOP. Gourevitch and Morris focus on the American soldiers who were sent to Iraq as liberators only to find themselves turned into jailers in Saddam Hussein's dungeons, responsible for implementing a practice they were sent to fight against. "The story of the defining moment in the war, the infamous Abu Ghraib photographs of prisoner abuse, as seen through the eyes, and told through the voices, of the soldiers who took them and appeared in them. In the tradition of powerful storytelling that runs from Joseph Conrad's 'The Heart of Darkness' and Fyodor Dostoevsky's 'The Grand Inquisitor' to Norman Mailer's 'The Executioner's Song', Philip Gourevitch has written a relentlessly surprising and perceptive account of the front lines of the War on Terror" (Publisher's blurb). Gourevitch relies heavily on Errol Morris' recorded interviews with the soldiers (hence the shared credit), that are also the basis of Morris' documentary, which is excruciating to watch. No theater in the United States has screened it, but it has been shown in Europe. Susan Sontag's last essay, "Regarding The Torture of Others" (2004), argued that Abu Graib will remain the most iconic image of the war in Iraq long after the war itself is finally over. Gourevitch and Morris evidently agree, but see the scandal from the most painful perspective of all: The soldier-photographer-torturers themselves. "There is no keeping our hands clean of Abu Graib. Ignoring it doesn't work, nor does denouncing it, and there is no disavowing it, never mind denying it. The stain is inescapable and irreversible and it is ours, and if we have any hope of containing it and living it down it can only come from seeing it whole" (Philip Gourevitch). An absolute "must-have" title for Philip Gourevitch and Errol Morris collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed and dated (in the month and year of publication) in black pen on the title page by the author: "Philip Gourevitch 5/08". This title is a great book. As far as we know, this is the only such signed and publication-month dated copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing 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 rare signed copy thus. Two of the most brilliant American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER COPY OF THIS TITLE IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1594201323. Signed by Author.

Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Joseph O'Neill's "The Dog". A stunningly different new novel. "A tale of alienation and heartbreak in Dubai. Distraught by a breakup with his long-term girlfriend, our unnamed hero leaves New York to take an unusual job in a strange desert metropolis. In Dubai at the height of its self-invention as a futuristic Shangri-la, he struggles with his new position as the 'family officer' of the capricious and very rich Batros family. And he struggles, even more helplessly, with the 'doghouse', a seemingly inescapable condition of culpability in which he feels himself constantly trapped even if he's just going to the bathroom or reading e-mail or scuba diving. A comic and philosophically profound exploration of what has become of humankind's moral progress, 'The Dog' is told with Joseph O'Neill's hallmark eloquence, empathy, and storytelling mastery" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Joseph O'Neill collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed, placed, and dated (in the month and year of publication) in black ink-pen on the title page by the author: "Joseph O'Neill Brooklyn, 9/21/2014". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page, as copies available online are. His signature on this copy is the most beautiful we have ever seen: Clear, flowing, and elegant. Laid-in is a pristine copy of the Souvenir Bookmark of the Brooklyn Book Festival during which event his signature was obtained. This title is a contemporary classic.

Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. Elsa Chiao's DJ design, which utilizes an evocative photograph of Moscow by the great photojournalist Adri Berger, is outstanding. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Jon Fasman's "The Unpossessed City". A Le Carre-inspired twist to the espionage thriller genre. "Jim Vilatzer lives at home and works in his parents' restaurant. He's going nowhere until gambling debts force him to make a change. He lands a job in Moscow (he grew up speaking Russian to his immigrant grandparents), interviewing survivors of the Gulag for a not-for-profit company. His work soon makes him a pawn in a scheme to sell to the highest bidder four of the former USSR's top weapons engineers which, in turn, leads him to become a target of Russian state security and the CIA. Fasman weaves two very different plotlines, one the story of a man discovering a new world and realizing that his roots are more important than he realized, the other tracking the machinations of crooked Russian officials to sell fellow citizens for a profit. The first plot is deftly, even lovingly achieved: Fasman's Moscow is beautiful, tragic, brutal, and exhilarating. The second storyline is more convoluted and arcane. The sum of the parts in this lyrically written novel is more than enough to keep readers engaged" (Thomas Gaughan). An absolute "must-have" title for Jon Fasman collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed and dated (in month and year of publication) in black ink-pen on the title page by the author: "Jon Fasman Nov. 10, 2008". It is signed directly on the page itself, not a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 269 pages. Published in 1995. The author's memoir on childhood. Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Mark Salzman's "Lost In Place: Growing Up Absurd In Suburbia". An enchanting and poignant account of his atypical childhood. "Looks back to his tortured youth with self-deprecating humor and wistful fondness. The oldest child in a middle-class household in Connecticut, the son of a piano teacher and a social worker, by age six the author was an eccentric with enormous aspirations - none of them ever fulfilled - who stood out not only from his more conventional parents, brother, and sister, but from everyone else in his suburban neighborhood. A hilarious memoir in the tradition of Russell Baker's 'Growing Up' " (Publisher's blurb). Salzman's now-considerable body of work has two underlying themes: The meaning of self-education, which involves the give-and-take between a great teacher and a brilliant protege, and the persistence of hope despite the possibility that not all of one's dreams may ever be fulfilled. An absolute "must-have" title for Mark Salzman collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed and dated (in the month and year of publication) in black ink-pen on the title page by the author: "Aug 30 1995 Mark Salzman".

Soft cover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 345 pages. Published in 2012. The author's breakthrough debut novel. One of the most important literary debuts of our time. The first appearance of the title in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a softcover original only. Presents, at long last, Deni Y. Bechard's "Vandal Love". His first novel. It finally appears in the United States after being issued in Canada several years ago. "An astonishing novel of epic ambition, 'Vandal Love' follows generations of a unique French-Canadian family across North America and through the 20th century, as they struggle to find their place in the world" (Publisher's blurb). Quite a struggle it turns out to be: A genetic curse runs through the family whereby the offspring are born either as giants or dwarfs ("runts"). "Reinvents the generational novel with innovative brilliance. The book has all the quirky depth of a great HBO series and a line-by-line literary energy that is very rare. This is an enormously impressive debut by a clearly talented writer" (Robert Olen Butler). Deni Yvan Bechard was born to French-Canadian and American parents in 1974 and is a largely self-taught writer who has lived in both Canada and the United States. The acclaim that some of the finest living writers have heaped on his debut novel is staggering, reminiscent of the praise that greeted Vikram Seth's "The Golden Gate" in the 1980's, Zadie Smith's "White Teeth" in the 1990's, and Jhumpa Lahiri's "Interpreter of Maladies" at the turn of the century. Bechard has been compared to Annie Proulx, one of the most revered American writers of our time, and E. L. Doctorow, one of the greatest writers in any language. An absolute "must-have" title for Deni Y. Bechard collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed, placed, and dated (in the month and year of publication) in black ink-pen on the title page by the author: "Deni Y. Bechard 6/24/2012 NYC".

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 290 pages. Published in 2012. The author's third novel. Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. "Autographed Copy" round green sticker pasted in front. Presents Joydeep Roy-Bhattacharya's "The Watch". His novel about the war in Afghanistan, which situates the Afghan war "classically", in the context of ancient Greek mythology, particularly Sophocles' "Antigone", the iconic narrative about the clash between ethics ("moral law") and politics ("the rule of law"). "A legless woman approaches a military outpost in Afghanistan's Kandahar Province, ostensibly to retrieve the body of her brother, who has been killed in a firefight. Having survived that firefight, the soldiers inside the compound are wary and edgy. That's the set-up to a taut and gritty story that unfolds amid the dust, shadows, and unease of the war in Afghanistan. As the woman refuses to leave, and questions mount about her true intentions, everything comes into question: What's right and wrong? Heartfelt, heartbreaking, and lyrical, a primal and beautiful work" (Neal Thompson). A scholar of political science, a peripatetic journalist, and a philosopher, the Indian-born American writer has published two ambitious novels, "The Gabriel Club" (1998, published in the United Kingdom only) and "The Storyteller of Marrakesh" (2011). The former is a meditation on the failure of Communism, the latter an homage to Scheherazade's "A Thousand And One Nights". Roy-Bhattacharya is a rare bird in contemporary literature: A novelist of ideas, who turns to ancient myths in order to illuminate the salient issues of our time. "We watch as the resistance of an isolated American garrison in Afghanistan is ground down, not by force of arms, but by the will of a single unarmed woman, holding inflexibly to an idea of what is just and right" (J. M. Coetzee). "The Watch" is the inaugural title of Random House's revival of Hogarth Press, the legendary imprint founded by Leonard and Virginia Woolf, in a defiant act of resistance to our Digital Age. An absolute "must-have" title for Joydeep Roy-Bhattacharya collectors. This Autographed Copy is very boldly, beautifully, and elaborately signed, placed, and dated (in the month and year of publication) in black pen on the title page by the author: "Joydeep Roy-Bhattacharya June 25 2012 NYC". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. His signature fills up the whole page. This title is a contemporary classic.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 660 pages. Published in 2007. The author's fourth novel. Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Ha Jin's "A Free Life". His first "American" novel. "Newcomers to the United States, Nan Wu and his wife, Pingping, have just brought their six-year-old son, Taotao, from China, so that they can all begin a free life in the West. Unsure but optimistic, the Wu family sets out on an uncharted journey through contemporary America in search not only of financial stability but also a sense of belonging, the tantalizing heart of the American Dream. Luminous, deeply moving, giving us both a bracingly intimate portrait of one family and a brilliant rendering of the vast, surprising, and challenging new homeland they discover together" (Publisher's blurb). Began in 2000 on a Guggenheim Fellowship, the novel has taken Ha Jin eight years, off and on, to write. At almost 700 pages, it is his longest work to date. It is also Ha Jin's second breakthrough, as a Chinese expatriate, a writer, and dare one say it, a human being: 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 and dated (in the month and year of publication) in black pen on the title page by the author: "Ha Jin 11/04/07". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page or bookplate. Laid-in is a copy of the Souvenir Program of the event itself, "Ha Jin: A Free Life", during which the signing was held. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed and publication-month dated copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies were damaged in transit by the publisher and have serious flaws even if they are New. 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 0375424652.

Photographs by Elizabeth Cerejido. Essay by Ricardo Pau-Llosa. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the landmark exhibition of the same name held at the Boca Raton Museum of Art in 1999. Presents, in a lovely collectible format, Elizabeth Cerejido's "Escucho"/"I Listen". A darkly beautiful collection of female nudes. "The body is an ear. It is not the heart but the organ of sound that rules over feelings and will. Birth, sex, and death - our primal states of nakedness - function as the iconic turning points for self-knowledge and actualization. Cerejido recovers the image of the nude in ways that owe more to music, dance, and theater than they do to the visual arts. She catches the model on the way to a pose or between congealing stances. For all of Cerejido's exquisite formal sense and impeccable taste, her nudes are not about the Minimalist poetry of the figure. Instead, they are the dreamt paradigm of Eros, divested of heat and trembling" (Ricardo Pau-Llosa). For Cerejido (as for most major artists and photographers in the Western tradition) : Eros is Woman. She incarnates sex-as-reality, sex-as-ideal, sex-as-beauty, and sex-as-power. An absolute "must-have" title for Elizabeth Cerejido collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed and dated (in the month and year of publication) in black ink-pen on the front free endpaper by the artist/photographer: "Elizabeth Cerejido 3/99". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary erotic art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed and publication-month dated copy of the Exhibition Catalog available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. 30 plates. One of the most brilliant American artist/photographers of the female nude of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER COPY OF THIS TITLE IN OUR CATALOG).
