Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Offering: Dave Eggers. A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. New York: Simon & Schuster, 2000. Advance Uncorrected Reader’s Proof. Near fine in pictorial wraps as issued. Only the lightest signs of handling to the wraps and page edges—exceptionally sharp for an ARC of this vintage. This is the scarce, Advance Uncorrected Reader’s Proof of Dave Eggers’s breakout memoir, published just ahead of the book’s 2000 release and produced in far smaller numbers than the first edition. A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius landed like a literary thunderclap—funny, self-aware, grieving, antic, and structurally wild—announcing a new voice that would define the early McSweeney’s era. Eggers’s story of raising his younger brother after the sudden loss of both parents became one of the most talked-about books of its year, and the proof captures the text in its pre-publication form, complete with alternate disclaimers, playful legalese, and the author’s signature blend of candor and metafiction. Collectors of modern literature prize ARCs of major turn-of-the-century debuts, and this one stands at the center of that moment: the rise of Gen-X memoir, the founding of McSweeney’s, and the transition from zine aesthetics to mainstream literary culture. Featuring the striking proof-only cover, unfinalized text, and the publisher’s early promotional material on the rear panel, this copy is both a bibliographic artifact and an ideal addition to any Eggers or contemporary American literature shelf. A clean, bright example of a book that helped redefine what memoirs could look like.

Shop-Beschreibung

My name is Jim Camp, and I own and operate the synaesthesia press. First and foremost, the synaesthesia press is a very small, very independent publishing house specializing in broadsides and chapbooks letterpress printed in a small run. Authors and artists past published include Tosh Berman, Tim O’Brien, Barry Gifford, Charles Bukowski, and Charles Plymell, among others. As a bookseller, I offer a variety of inventory -- I especially love stuff that is considered generally subversive; for example, anything by or about Beatniks, Outlaws, Perverts, Weirdos, and Outsiders; good literary fiction (especially "dirty" and / or forgotten titles by forgotten authors) and almost anything by or about Bukowski. I love photography, especially found amateur snapshots and professionally made vintage photographic prints; little mags, zines, photo books, art books and Artists Books; and, finally, anything smutty or sleazy or erotic or cheesecake-related vintage publications, photos or ephemera. Thanks!
