As New.
Signed. . The author's breakthrough fourth novel. The "Film Tie-in" Softcover Edition. Glossy pictorial softcovers with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Text by Susanna Moore. Without DJ, as issued. Written in the detective-thriller genre, this is a novel of spare, limpid, and immaculate beauty that finally transcends the genre's conventional parameters. With a brilliant and erotic twist-ending that is tragic yet, as the title implies, completely inescapable, the last few paragraphs are Susanna Moore writing at the very top of her form. Perhaps Moore's most accomplished novel to date, it proves, if proof were needed, that she is one of the most under-appreciated novelists of our time. The basis of the fine film adaptation by Jane Campion, with Meg Ryan and Mark Ruffalo. Moore wrote the screenplay with Campion. A "must-have" edition for Susanna Moore completists. This copy is boldly and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page by Susanna Moore. It comes with the only copy of the film poster online, also boldly and beautifully signed in red marker by the author. This title has been out-of-print as a hardcover for a very long time. This is the only signed copy of the Film Tie-In Softcover Edition available online and has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A scarce signed copy thus. Winner of the Pen/Ernest Hemingway Citation and The Sue Kaufman Prize from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. One of the finest living American writers. A flawless copy.
