Chabon, Michael.
A MODEL WORLD AND OTHER STORIES.
New York City, NY: William Morrow & Company, 1991. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 207 pages. Fine/Fine. The author's landmark debut collection of short stories. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Consists of thirteen stories ingeniously divided into two parts, Part 1: "A Model World" and Part 2: "The Lost World". Shows Michael Chabon's growing maturity as a writer of tremendous talent and keen appreciation of life's complexities and literature's obligation to capture those complexities in both limpid language and formal inventiveness. One of the author's most accomplished works, it is a "must-have" title for Michael Chabon collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page by Michael Chabon. Laid-in is a pristine copy of the Souvenir Program, "Michael Chabon", issued to celebrate the publication of "The Yiddish Policemen's Union". The signature was obtained during the event. This title has been out-of-print as a hardcover for a very long time. This is one of relatively few signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A scarce signed copy thus. Selected by The New Yorker Magazine as one of "Twenty Writers for the 21st Century". Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 2000 for "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay". One of the finest living American writers. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER MICHAEL CHABON TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0688095534. $40.00 |
