Seller: ModernRare, CHICAGO, IL, U.S.A.
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 555 pages. Published in 1999. The author's ninth novel. One of the best American novels of the last decade of the 20th century. The First "Film Tie-In" Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent printings. Published in a small and limited first print run as a softcover original only. The film adaptation is entitled "The Door In The Floor". It was written and directed by Tod Williams with John Irving's full blessing and cooperation. The film starred Jeff Bridges, Kim Basinger, and Elle Fanning. Without DJ, as issued. Re-presents, in its "Film Tie-In" Edition, John Irving's "A Widow For One Year". The epic story of a family, dysfunctional at best, unable to cope with tragedy or bear each other at worst. It is widely regarded to be John Irving's best novel since "The World According to Garp", his masterpiece. "Irving's storytelling has never been better. An engaging and often affecting fable, a fairy tale that manages to be old-fashioned and modern all at once" (The New York Times). "The most dangerous secrets are the ones we're afraid to tell ourselves" (John Irving). An absolute "must-have" title for John Irving collectors. This copy is very boldly, beautifully, and affectionately signed and inscribed in blue ink-pen on the title page by the author: "For [names of recipients], with my gratitude, John Irving". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The recipients, who are named, are (obviously) personally known to the author and cannot be named here. Irving's penmanship here is one of the most beautiful we have ever seen. This title is a contemporary classic. This is the only such signed and inscribed copy of the First "Film Tie-In" Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: John Irving did NOT sign copies of the book, making this signed copy truly one-of-a-kind, and the reason one collects signed copies in the first place. A rare signed copy thus. One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JOHN IRVING TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0345469011. Signed by Author. Seller Inventory # 23553
