Glass, Julia.
THREE JUNES.
New York City, NY: Pantheon, 2002. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 353 pages. As New/As New. Signed. The author's breakthrough debut novel. One of the most important literary events of the year 2002. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published to considerable critical acclaim, it was shamefully ignored by the reading public until it won the prestigious National Book Award in a stunning upset. The publicity-shy Julia Glass was catapulted from a cult writer who has received lavish praise from fellow American writers into a bestselling author overnight. The book joins the select ranks of winning novels by Nelson Algren, Saul Bellow, Philip Roth, Cormac McCarthy, and Susan Sontag, among other great names in American literature. A moving story that is part-romance, part-coming of age, and part-historical novel. Written with grace, passion, and elegance, its understanding of the male psyche is as unusual in a "woman writer" as Robert Olen Butler's profoundly affecting and unforgettable heroines are surprisingly convincing in a "white male writer". Proof that the literary imagination ultimately dissolves the barriers of sex, gender, and sexual orientation in the mind of a truly talented and empathetic writer. An outstanding debut. This copy is very neatly and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page by Julia Glass. This title is no longer in print as a hardcover. This copy has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A very scarce signed copy thus. Winner of the National Book Award in 2002 for "Three Junes". One of the most brilliant living American writers. A flawless copy. . ISBN 0375421440. $95.00 |
