Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 264 pages. Published in 2025. The author's eleventh novel. One of Edward St. Aubyn's finest achievements. 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 hardcover original only. "Signed Copy" metallic-silver sticker pasted in front. Presents Edward St. Aubyn's "Parallel Lines". Several anguished characters' lives intersect "as each of their destinies is revealed in a marvelous new light. With characteristic brilliance and humor, investigates themes of dualism, determinism, connection, and love. St. Aubyn captures the life of the spirit as vibrantly as the life of the mind in a novel that wrestles with moral and psychic anguish and the cascading consequences of our choices at every stage of life" (Publisher's blurb). "Bristles with ideas. St. Aubyn is at his best in comic set pieces, which recall the brilliance of the Patrick Melrose series" (The Financial Times). At the same time, St. Aubyn deserves credit for insisting that literature is NOT a social event that people could carry out and discuss on social media, for example, as many aspiring writers now do, but an intense and private conversation between one intelligence (the writer) and another (the reader). "Our purest living prose stylist" (The Guardian). An absolute "must-have" title for Edward St. Aubyn collectors. This Autographed Copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Edward St. Aubyn. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Almost ALL other copies available online are signed on the publisher's tipped-in page. This title will become a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such title-page signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies signed on a tipped-in page do NOT have the same collectble value. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant novelists of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER EDWARD ST. AUBYN TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0593535340. Signed by Author.
