About This Item
NY: Broadway Books; (1998). First Edition . Soft cover. Advance reading copy, near fine in bright green wraps. One tiny bump at the bottom of the spine; pages are just slightly toned at edges. Inscribed by the author on the title page with his typical "Peace" salutation.
Synopsis
Tomcat in Love is a novel by Tim O'Brien, about the misadventures of a womanizing linguistics Professor, Thomas H. Chippering, originally published in hardcover by Bantam Doubleday Dell, in 1998. Chippering is obsessive about proper use of the English language, and employs many examples of wordplay. Written in the first person, the tale unfolds with extensive use of flashback (what Chippering would insist be called "analepsis") and foreshadowing.
