Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition, First Printing. Clarke's second novel is in a league with such classics as "Catch 22," "A Confederacy of Dunces," and "Little Big Man." A novel disguised as a memoir and a bibliomystery cloaked in humor, this book is about truth and honesty and the damage they can do. It features Sam Pulsifer, who, as a teenager, accidentally burned down poet Emily Dickinson's house, unknowingly killing two people in the fire. Sam spent ten years in prison, then started over -- he went to college, got married, fathered two children, made a brand new life. And then his past caught up with as he watched as one after another, the homes of other famous New England writers go up in flames. Sam must turn detective and find the guilty party to prove his own innocence. What he discovers and how he deals with what he finds, is both hilariously funny and heartbreakingly sad. It is truth kicking you in the ass. A one-line inscription to the previous owner on the front end page, o/w text and boards are clean and unmarked, tight and square. The dustjacket is price-clipped but o/w free of significant flaws. A trace of edgewear but no tears, no chipping. Not a remaindered copy.
