Barth, John
LETTERS: A Novel
Publisher: G. P. Putman's Sons NY 1979
FIRST TRADE EDITION (after a special limited edition), FIRST PRINTING. Hardcover with price-clipped dust jacket. 8vo. xv, (i), 772 pp. Quarter bound in publisher's black cloth over gray boards, gilt lettering and borders on spine. Very small gift inscription on blank preliminary page, else fine. Dust jacket (now in Mylar) lightly shelf worn. NEAR FINE/NEAR FINE. This novel takes the form of the letters of seven people, including a British gentlewoman who finds herself pregnant by her young American lover and a bachelor lawyer who enjoys incest on his final cruise in preparation for suicide, and takes readers on a journey through history. Letters revives an old-time form - the epistolary novel - and transforms it into a dazzling comic epic of today. The seven letter-writers are: 1. A fifty-year-old British gentlewoman; 2. A seventy-year-old small-town bachelor lawyer; 3. A long time patient at a Canadian Remobilization Farm; 4. A terrorist (or counter-terrorist) poet laureate; 5. A rival novelist; 6. The avant-garde lover of the aforementioned gentlewoman; 7. The Author himself. "In this sprawling, astonishing, delighting saga Barth cruises quite extraordinary altitudes in human imagination and English language usage. Characters from previous fictions are worked up, over, out; all in outrageous fashion. " - Mal MacCormack ISBN: 039912425X 1st Trade Edition Near Fine Hard Cover Near Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall

"Saul Bellow's most recent novel, 'The Dean's December', was described in the New York Times Book Review as the work of "simply the best writer we have." Another reviewer said: "At an age when most writers are hopelessly repeating themselves, Bellow is still finding good things to do." These words are equally, if not more, appropriate to this dazzlingly innovative and masterly new collection of shorter fiction."

Bellow, Saul
THE DEAN'S DECEMBER
Publisher: Harper And Row NY 1982
Hardcover with dust jacket. 8vo (5.75 x 8.5"). (viii), 309, (3) pp. Quarter bound in publisher's black, paper-covered spine over green marbled boards, gilt lettering on spine. The dust jacket is worn and chipped. The volume itself is crisp, clean, tight and square, with no ownership marks or other defects. FINE+/GOOD+. The Dean's December is a tale of two cities, Chicago, Illinois and Bucharest, Rumania, a tale of East and West. It is also the story of a double crisis in the life of Albert Corde. Corde, the Dean, is not a real academic, this is anything but a campus novel, but a newspaperman who returned to his hometown to be Professor of Journalism and, eventually, Dean of Students. He is not a skillful administrator, far from it. Saul Bellow is a winner of the Nobel prize in Literature, in addition to three National Book Awards for fiction and a Pulitzer Prize.
