[EAN: 9781400066469], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [PU: New York City, NY: Random House, 2009], Jacket, 1st Printing. Signed. 257 pages. Published in 2009. The author's fourth novel. Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The DJ design by Henry Sene Yee is one of the most evocatively beautiful ever produced in our time. Presents Arthur Phillips' "The Song Is You". The author, once again, in top form: Phillips' evocation of music's power to blur - erase, even - the otherwise clear boundaries between art, the artist, and the fan, without whose worshipful, abject devotion both art and artist would NOT exist. "His best writing. Achieves an elaborate, gratifying precision, combining a naturally flamboyant style with neat, observational wit. A middle-aged advertising director, whose marriage has broken up following the death of their two-year-old son, plays an invisible and unlikely muse to a young singer on the brink of stardom. As the two engage in an indirect seduction - they never meet - the narrative veers close to the 'adolescent fantasy' that its protagonist fears" (The New Yorker Magazine). An absolute "must-have" title for Arthur Phillips collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed, dated (shortly after publication), and placed in black ink-pen on the title page by the author: "Arthur Phillips 4/29/09 New York". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. It comes with a copy of the New York Times Book Review Cover Feature on the novel, also similarly, prominently, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen in front by the author. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed, publication-month dated, and placed copy (with Signed NYT Book Review) of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and despite its imperfection (slight crease on the half-title page, but it's there) is still in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are in multiple subsequent printings, or are remainder-mrarked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the Art Seidenbaum Award for Best First Novel in 2002 for "Prague". One of the most brilliant American writers of our time. A fine copy.
