Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

First impression of the first UK edition, with a complete number string: 1 3 5 7 9 8 6 4 2 on the printer's page. Don DeLillo's fifteenth published novel. ***Very good in black cloth-covered boards with silver titles to the spine. The boards are clean and unmarked. Head and tail of spine slightly rubbed and creased. No reading lean to the spine. Spine tight. Please note that the page block edges are quite heavily foxed, slightly bleeding into some of the page margins at the fore-edge (please see scans). Interior pages clean with no inscriptions. No creases or tears. Charcoal-grey endpapers. ***In a near fine colour-illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £16.99. The dustwrapper is complete with no chips, creases or tears - just the tiniest hint of creasing to the tail of the spine. No fading. Dustwrapper bright. ***246 pages. 242mm x 158mm. ***'There is September 11 and then there are the days after, and finally the years.' ***"Falling Man" is a magnificent, essential novel about the event that defines turn-of-the-century America. It begins in the smoke an ash of the burning towers and traces the aftermath of this global tremor in the intimate lives of a few people.' ***Brave and brilliant, "Falling Man" traces the way the events of September 11 have reconfigured our emotional landscape, our memory and our perception of the world. It is beautiful, heartbreaking, cathartic.' ***'One of America's smartest and most disturbing writers.' - The Times (Quotes and review quote from front and back flaps of the dustwrapper) ***'Donald Richard DeLillo (born November 20, 1936) is an American novelist, short story writer, playwright, screenwriter and essayist. His works have covered subjects as diverse as television, nuclear war, the complexities of language, art, the advent of the Digital Age, mathematics, politics, economics, and sports. DeLillo was already a well-regarded cult writer in 1985, when the publication of White Noise brought him widespread recognition and the National Book Award for fiction. He followed this in 1988 with "Libra", a novel about the Kennedy assassination. DeLillo won the PEN/Faulkner Award for "Mao II", about terrorism and the media's scrutiny of writers' private lives, and the William Dean Howells Medal for "Underworld", a historical novel that ranges in time from the dawn of the Cold War to the birth of the Internet. He was awarded the 1999 Jerusalem Prize, the 2010 PEN / Saul Bellow Award for Achievement in American Fiction in 2010, and the 2013 Library of Congress Prize for American Fiction. DeLillo has described his themes as "living in dangerous times" and "the inner life of the culture." In a 2005 interview, he said that writers "must oppose systems. It's important to write against power, corporations, the state, and the whole system of consumption and of debilitating entertainments -- I think writers, by nature, must oppose things, oppose whatever power tries to impose on us."' (Wiki) ***First impression of the first UK edition, in the original dustwrapper, in very good condition, albeit with the above-mentioned foxing. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
