Used Like New(1 Copy): Signed by Author. Softcover. First Edition. Later Printing. 375 pages. Fine. Retrospective collection of short stories. One of the greatest short story collections of our time. The First Edition in a Later Printing. Published as a softcover original only by a University Press. The book remains available in numerous subsequent printings. Pictorial softcovers with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Text by Edith Pearlman. Printed on archival stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents some of Edith Pearlman's finest and most representative short stories in a volume whose selections were made and edited by her. The collection is preceded by a "rave review" of an Introductory Essay by fellow writer and lifelong admirer, the American novelist Ann Patchett. "Spanning four decades, these twenty-one vintage selected stories and thirteen scintillating new ones take us around the world, from Jerusalem to Central America, from Tsarist Russia to London during the Blitz, from central Europe to Manhattan, and from the Maine Coast to Godolphin, Massachusetts, a fictional suburb of Boston. These charged locales, and the lives of the endlessly varied characters within them, are evoked with a tenderness and incisiveness found in only our most observant seers. No matter the situation in which her characters find themselves, Edith Pearlman conveys their experience with wit and aplomb, with relentless but clear-eyed optimism, and with a supple prose that reminds us, sentence by sentence, page by page, what our greatest verbal innovators can bestow. Reveals a true American original, a master of the story, showing us, with her classic sensibility and lasting artistry, the cruelties, the longings, and the rituals that connect human beings across space and time" (Publisher's blurb). In other words, a writer's writer who will elude (because she will not pander to) mainstream taste, but whose time has nevertheless finally come. A "must-have" title for Edith Pearlman collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed and dated in black pen on the title page by the author: "Edith Pearlman 3/21/12". Together with fellow Finalists Don DeLillo and Steven Millhauser, Pearlman made a rare appearance, in New York City, for The Story Prize Award Night at The New School on March 21, 2012, during which her signature was obtained. Laid-in is a pristine copy of the event's Souvenir Material. This title remains available in numerous subsequent printings and is now highly collectible. This is one of very few signed copies of the First Edition/Later Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Copies of the First Edition/First Printing available online now command between $500 and $1000, depending on condition and whether signed or un-signed. This beautiful copy is an accessible alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the finest living American writers. A fine copy. ISBN 0982338295.
