hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. No Jacket. Special Edition. Advance reader copy of Bound Galley in paperback. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. "A raucous, stunningly candid, deliriously smart diary of two years in the life of the incomparable Heidi Julavits. [] Like many young people, Heidi Julavits kept a diary. Decades later she found her old diaries in a storage bin, and hoped to discover the early evidence of the person (and writer) she'd since become. Instead, 'The actual diaries revealed me to possess the mind of a paranoid tax auditor.' The entries are dull accountings of anxieties about grades, looks, boys, and popularity. After reading the confessions of her past self, writes Julavits, 'I want to good-naturedly laugh at this person. I want to but I can't. What she wanted then is scarcely different from what I want today.' [] Thus was born a desire to try again, to chronicle her daily life as a forty-something woman, wife, mother, and writer. The dazzling result is THE FOLDED CLOCK, in which the diary form becomes a meditation on time and self, youth and aging, betrayal and loyalty, friendship and romance, faith and fate, marriage and family, desire and death, gossip and secrets, art and ambition. Concealed beneath the minute obsession with 'dailiness' are sharply observed moments of cultural criticism and emotionally driven philosophical queries. In keeping with the spirit of a diary, the tone is confessional, sometimes shockingly so, as the focus shifts from the woman she wants to be to the woman she may have become. [] Julavits's spirited sense of humor about her foibles and misadventures, combined with her ceaseless intelligence and curiosity, explode the typically confessional diary form. THE FOLDED CLOCK is as playful as it is brilliant, a tour de force by one of the most gifted prose stylists in American letters." [publisher copy] "At once artful, concise, and forthcoming. . . Like E.B. White or David Foster Wallace before her, Julavits might be ashamed of her little vanities and obsessions . . . but that doesn't prevent her from laying them bare without sugarcoating a thing. . . There's not a single uninteresting anecdote or scrap of flabby prose throughout."--Heather Havrilesky. "Displays both charm and stark honesty . . . The diary angle makes for a clever hook, but masks what this really is--a compelling collection of intimate, untitled personal essays that reveal one woman's ever-evolving soul."--Publishers Weekly. "What can I tell you about reading Heidi Julavits' diary? I almost missed my subway stop because I got so engrossed by her description of waiting at a subway stop. These meditations shimmer like creatures, always feeling for the next surprise. They are ruthlessly attentive to particulars but always sniffing after bigger questions--the biggest--and I was utterly compelled by the big-hearted engine of rigor and wonder that drives them: her live electric mind."--Leslie Jamison. Fine & handy, pristine ARC paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued. Quite presentable.…
