About this Item

Full printing line with "1" on the copyright page of this McSweeney's first edition. Jonathan Lethem has boldly flat signed (no inscription) the title page. Book is in fine condition, as new. Binding is tight and square, with no reading crease in spine. Boards are sharp cornered, unmarked, unfaded and unworn, with bright gilt titles. Pages are unmarked and unworn. Not a remainder. The unclipped dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is in near fine condition: bright, whole and unmarked, with a 1/8" closed edge tear and faint traces of wear on corners. As with all Space Age Book purchases, I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its proud new owner in the same condition as my description.

About this title

Synopsis

Lethem, author of the bestselling Motherless Brooklyn , returns in concentrated form - packing twice the adventure into one-eighth the pages. This book could be some kind of allegory book, but it might not be an allegory book at all. It involves people and drinking and people looking for a giant eye. It is among the best things Mr. Lethem has written.
