About This Item
New York, NY Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1992. Hardcover First Edition USA [1992], so stated. First Edition USA [1992], so stated. Fine in Near Fine DJ: The Book is flawless; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, or labels. The Dustwrapper shows rubbing; else flawless; the price is intact. Overall, just about "As New". NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8.8 x 5.9 x 1 inches). 280 pages. Translated by Daniel Powelstock. Weight: 16.4 ounces. Hardback with DJ. This erotic Czech novel is already an anthologized cult classic. Born in 1963, Pekarkova belongs to a generation of Czechs defined not by the Prague Spring and the subsequent Soviet invasion, but by their aftermath. Pekarkova administers a well-deserved shake to the quintessentially masculine road novel, combining a complex portrait of her narrator--now tough and brazen, now vulnerable and young--with fresh insights about her native land.
