SINS.
New York City, NY: Random House, 1996. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 207 pages. As New/As New. The author's novel. The first appearance of the title in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. A novel about an eccentric, wealthy man and his life of duplicity in the Philippines, intended surely as an allegory about the country itself. F. Sionil Jose is regarded as one of the finest living novelists in Asia by fellow Asian writers as well as an impressive array of European and American writers and critics, who have lavished praise on his large body of work and helped get some of his most important books published in the United States and in various European translations. An indispensable title in his oeuvre. A "must-have" title for F. Sionil Jose collectors. This title has been out-of-print as a hardcover for a very long time. This is one of few copies of the First American Edition still available online and has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A scarce copy thus. One of the finest Filipino writers of the 20th century. A flawless copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER N. V. M. GONZALEZ TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0679420185. $25.00 |
