Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First Edition. FIRST PRINTING. Author's critically revered, mesmerizing third novel. "According to some historians, when Napoleon died in 1821, a relic seeker removed the penis from the corpse. The rest isn't history, but rather the inspiration for this wickedly imaginative literary tour de force written in a brand-new, grand old style. The search for the errant appendage makes for a brilliantly bizarre and endlessly inventive odyssey through Victorian London and post-Civil War New York, out to Colorado territory, and back again. And ingeniously conceived Emily Dickinson figures in the cast of characters, as do Walt Whitman, utopian dreamer Horace Greeley, and a trail of con men, bastard Bonapartes, and other riffrafff that includes a diminutive homunculus named Bonnie. At the center of it all is Peter Doyle, a dandified drifter beloved by Whitman and the unwitting bearer of the misplaced member. Blazingly original and gloriously realized, "Peter Doyle" is a virtuoso meditation on the progress of myth, the myth of progress, and the destiny made manifest in our most vital parts." 417 pages. Author Ron Hansen's DJ blurb exults: "Peter Doyle" is not just a novel, it's a conjuration-a darkly comic, exciting, can't-put-it-down, joyous chase of a book. Twisting and turning from history to fantasy, from picaresque to romance, from Europe to Colorado, this is a grand old stem-winder told with great zest, invention, and flair." Other DJ blurbs for the book provided by Frederick Busch, Paul West, Jay Parini, and Kirkus Reviews.Bump to top of DJ spine and a 1'' jagged ridge to DJ rear top. GM3.…
