Gray, Spalding Impossible Vacation
Alfred A. Knopf Inc 1992 039456894X / 9780394568942 Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near-new condition - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Front dustcover shows hand coming out of water - holding a small American flag - Photo of author on back dustcover - 228 pages - NO writing, marks or tears - Tight spine - Bright pages - Having detailed the agonies of writing a book in his monologue Monster in a Box, Spalding Gray now gives us the monster itself: a convulsively funny, unexpectedly moving novel about a man eternally searching for a moment of protected pleasure even as he is permanently incapable of finding it. Brewster North witnesses his mother's madness but misses her suicide; searches frantically for enlightenment in the Poconos and zipless sex in India; suffers family ennui in Rhode Island and a nervous breakdown in Amsterdam. In the process he emerges as a hilariously complex everyman. And as Gray narrates his hero's free fall, he confirms his own stature as one of our funniest, most eccentric, and most engaging storytellers.

Near-new copy. NO writing, marks or tears. Tight spine, bright pages. NO remainder marks or price clippings. 223 pages. - Among the masterpieces of world literature, this great verse drama by Norway's famed playwright humorously yet profoundly explores the virtues, vices, and follies common to all humanity as it follows the roguish life of a charming but arrogant young man. A literary delight since it was first published in 1875. Annotation Ibsen's last work to use poetry as a medium of dramatic expression, Peer Gynt carries the marks of his later, prose plays.
