Biguenet, John.
THE TORTURER'S APPRENTICE.
New York City, NY: The Ecco Press, 2001. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 176 pages. As New/As New. The author's breakthrough debut collection of short stories. One of the most important literary events of the year 2001. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. "Full of bold risks, taken with intelligence and humor and pitch-perfect narrative voices. This is a remarkably brave and accomplished first story collection from an important new writer" (Robert Olen Butler). With this debut collection, the author could not avoid being labeled as a short-story writer, prompting favorable comparisons with the late Raymond Carver. A triumphant debut. This title is no longer in print as a hardcover. This copy has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A scarce copy thus. Winner of the O. Henry Award for his short story "Rose". One of the most brilliant living American writers. A flawless copy. . ISBN 0060198354. $35.00 |
