About This Item
First edition, first prnt. Signed by Powers on a tipped-in page as issued for promotional purposes. Slight sticker residue on dustjacket front panel; otherwise, an unread copy in Fine condition in a Fine dustjacket with an archival cover. Since his first publication Powers has steadfastly declined to sign his books, eventually agreeing to sign slips of paper to be laid-in his books at readings. Bewilderment is his first novel to be released in a limited number (unspecified) with his signature tipped-in by the publisher.
Reviews
On Jun 21 2022, a reader said:
In the disclaimer, the book calls itself a work of fiction. "Names, characters, places, and incidents are the products of the author's imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events, locales, or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental."
Well that is one huge coincidence, because I see great resemblance to current events. Around the story of the father and son, the book is a frighteningly accurate portrayal of the crumbling nature of society today, of the fragility of democracy, and of the short sightedness of the behaviour of humanity, ultimately destructive of not only our species but also uncountable species who share our world.
Though sometimes almost too realistic and sadly doom-filled, the story contains a shining thread of beauty, or hope; a beauty which, like life, is made only more breathtaking by the brevity of its existence.
