WANDERING STARS

New York City, NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 2024. First Edition. First Printing.. Hardcover. As New/As New Dust Jacket.. New York City, NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 2024. Hardcover. As New/As New. First Edition/First Printing. 220 pages. The author's second novel. One of Tommy Orange's finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly copies that are signed on a tipped-in page. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. Presents Tommy Orange's "Wandering Stars". His acclaimed follow-up to "There There" (2018), his now-classic debut novel. "Extending his constellation of narratives into the past and future, Tommy Orange traces the legacies of the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864 and the Carlisle Indian Industrial School through three generations of a family in a story that is by turns shattering and wondrous. For the sake of knowing, of understanding, 'Wandering Stars' blew my heart into a thousand pieces and put it all back together again. A masterwork that will not be forgotten, a masterwork that will forever be a part of you" (Morgan Talty). An absolute "must-have" title for Tommy Orange collectors. This copy is very boldly, beautifully, and elaborately signed and dated (shortly after publication) in black pen-marker on the title page by the author: "Tommy Orange 3.5.24". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page, as many copies available online are. His signature is an elaborate version of the mere T/O initials (with which he signed copies of "There There" during its launch, in response to enormous public demand). The result is a magnificent, one-of-a-kind signature. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of very few such signed and post-publication dated copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. It is, quite simply, the most beautiful signed copy we have ever seen. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are in subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the American Center For Fiction's "First Novel Award" in 2018 for "There There". One of the most brilliant American novelists of our time. A fine copy. . ISBN 0593318250.
