Description:
First Edition, Fourth Printing (October 1991) of the highly acclaimed first novel of Louis Begley, who was in his 60s when the book was published in 1991, winning the PEN/Hemingway Award and the Irish Times Aer Lingus Book Prize. Begley's debut work also was nominated for the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award. It tells the story of a young Jewish boy and his beautiful, acerbic aunt, who manage to stay one step ahead of both the Nazis and their equally vicious, anti-semitic fellow Poles, by posing as Catholics and using other cunning fabrications to avoid being shipped off to the death camps. "Dispatches" author Michael Herr called the book "Intimate, haunting, and beautifully written, a distillation of experience that may be unequalled in the literature of the Holocaust." Book is As New. Not price clipped. Only imperfection is a tiny (less than 1/8") closed tear at very bottom of jacket beneath publisher's symbol. 5 and 7/8" by 8 and 7/8". 198 pages.

New York, Grove Press, 2022, trade paperback, 272 pp, Advance Uncorrected Proof (ARC), New. Straight, tight and clean with no wear or markings in bright, pictorial card covers, no dustjacket as issued. The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.

When he comes to describe Jerusalem he makes this remarkable statement; Do not set out...resolved to make discoveries. There is not a foot of ground that has not been already scrutinized by a thousand eyes as keen as yours, and the old adage, "If new not true," may be applied to Jerusalem and her monuments with more propriety than to any other place on earth...." - Introduction from Poet and Peasant: A… Read More
