Beschreibung

This is a signed First UK Edition (1970,) Second Impression of Bech: A Book by John Updike, published by André Deutsch the same year as the US Knopf edition. Both the book and dust jacket are in Fine condition, a rare state for this collectible Updike title. Bech: A Book introduces Henry Bech, a witty, self-deprecating, and perennially blocked Jewish-American novelist who became one of Updike's most beloved recurring characters. Through a series of linked stories, Updike explores literary fame, cultural clashes, and the absurdities of the writer's life with his trademark satirical edge and elegant prose. This copy is signed by John Updike on the title page. The original dust jacket is unclipped, bright, and fully intact, perfectly complementing the pristine boards and crisp interior pages. A rare opportunity to acquire a signed, Fine/Fine first edition of one of Updike's most enduring works, ideal for serious collectors of modern first editions. Small Owner's note on front endpaper (Name, Feb. '71) otherwise a clean copy.
