Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition, Second Printing, May 1987. 1192pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in massively FINE condition. "This work belongs to that neglected genre of the Sixties, the mega-novel. It is a sprawling narrative full of weird characters, confusing subplots, multiple time frames, and huge chunks of esoteric information. The story focuses on a meteorologist, James Mayn, and a feminist, Grace Kimball, who live in the same apartment building in New York, though 'focus' may be the wrong word: a basic structural device is to touch briefly on a wide range of subjects, then circle back and add more detail. Thus, there are digressions on the weather, lesbianism, space exploration, the CIA's role in Chile, and the many uses of jojoba beans; only after a few hundred pages can the reader begin to discern any pattern. McElroy's critical reputation has always been impeccable, his audience negligible. (His most recent novel was Lookout Cartridge.) This book probably won't change that. It is not sexy or suspenseful, but it is endlessly fascinating and it is McElroy's most ambitious, most successful work to date."--Library Journal. "Like other postmodern big books, The Recognitions, Giles Goat-Boy, Gravity's Rainbow, WOMEN AND MEN embodies the American notion of manifest destiny, a continent-sized ambition to speak largely in a large land. Brilliant and rigorously human, WOMEN AND MEN offers a risky, brakeless drive at the far edge of what's possible in the novel."--Albert Mobilio, Voice Literary Supplement. "Once in a great while there is published a book that judges us, a book so rich in knowledge, imagination, and feeling in art that the reader is ravished and humbled, changed, made thankful. Joseph McElroy's mammoth WOMEN AND MEN is that kind of book, the most important novel to appear in American since Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow."--Tom LeClair, Washington Post Book World. "McElroy's astonishing epic---stretch[es] our minds, breaking through old narrative constraints as he charts uncannily new and exciting territory. No serious reader will want to miss WOMEN AND MEN. By such dreams the world might be saved."--Alicia Metcalf Miller, Cleveland Plain Dealer. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, a square & tight binding (w/slight separation at spinal head due to text block's weight, tail is fine/tight), a typically beautiful Knopf production, wrapped in handsome, intact & unmarked jacket covered in archival mylar. Photos provided upon request. Oversize book will require extra postage & insurance to get to you safely; please inquire with your specific interest & shipping destination.

Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. A stunning example of a book that sees much wear simply from handling its bulk. A superb first edition, first printing, flat signed by the author to the title page. This copy has some light wear to bottom board edges, but less than typically so, some light foxing to block edges but is structurally and internally fine. Jacket presents as fine, being unclipped and without flaw. This novel of McElroy's is considered his masterpiece and is one of the longest pieces of fiction ever published in the English language. Large octavo, 1192 pages, grey paper boards with white cloth backing, pictorial jacket. Satisfaction guaranteed. Additional photos always available on request. Shipped in a fitted, padded box. This item will likely need additional shipping due to weight and size. Please reach out first if this is a concern. Signed by Author(s). Nº de ref. del artículo: ABE-1684394952752
