Soft cover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 150 pages. Published in 2012. The author's debut novel, published fifty-two years later in English translation. Danilo Kis' assured first book. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a softcover original only. Presents Danilo Kis' "The Attic" in a felicitous English translation. Prefatory Essay by John K. Cox. Kis' account of blissful youth, its vanities, indiscretions, irresponsibilities, and its serious artistic ambitions. As such, it is grounded in - soaked in - real life as the author seeks to "find a way to balance his life, his loves, and his art". "Verging into eternity, does to his characters what nearly every known creed aspires to do to the human soul. It extends their existence; it erodes our sense of death's impenetrability" (Joseph Brodsky). "Eternity" - that is, literary immortality - is the reason his novel is not explicitly autobiographical: The protagonist's name is Orpheus. An absolute "must-have" title for Danilo Kis collectors. This title is a late-modern classic. This is one of few copies of the First Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: This is a copy of the 2012 First Edition. Copies available online have serious flaws or are in subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER DANILO KIS TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1564787346. no.…

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 150 pages. Published in 2012. The author's very last book to be translated into English. One of Danilo Kis' finest achievements. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the Softcover Edition. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. Presents Danilo Kis' "Psalm 44" in a felicitous English translation. Prefatory Essay by Aleksandar Hemon. One of Danilo Kis' earliest books, it is, ironically enough, the last to become available in English. It is his most explicit - and grimmest - novel about the Holocaust, inspired by a newspaper article about a family on their "pilgrimage" to Auschwitz, where the mother, against all odds, eventually gives birth, an actual birth that symbolically asserts the triumph of Good over Death and Evil. "His most lyrical and unguarded, demonstrating that even in the place of dragons, there can still be poetry" (Publisher's blurb). The inmates and guards are all based on known real people, including an appearance by Dr. Josef Mengele, often viewed as second only to Hitler as the embodiment of pure evil. An absolute "must-have" title for Danilo Kis collectors. This title is a great book. This is one of very few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: This is a copy of the 2012 First Hardcover Edition. Copies available online have very serious flaws or are in subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative.
