Seth, Vikram.
AN EQUAL MUSIC.
New York City, NY: Broadway Publishing Company, 1999. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 381 pages. Fine/Fine. The author's third novel. One of the most important literary events of the year 1999. The first appearance of the title in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Presents a love story with brilliant, fascinating, and erudite allusions to classical music. Vikram Seth's mastery of the English language is so complete that it transcends the otherwise banal subject matter of romantic love in a modern-day setting. In a now-considerable body of work, he shows that he is capable of wonderful surprises and unsurpassed virtuosity. "Vikram Seth's accomplishment in bringing out not only these characters so fully to life but the rich ambiance of the music as well, so difficult to render in words, is something of a miracle" (Arthur Golden). A rich, rewarding work. This title has been out-of-print as a hardcover for a long time. This is one of relatively few copies of the First American Edition and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A scarce copy thus. One of the finest writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER VIKRAM SETH TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0767902912. $45.00 |
