Child of God
by Cormac McCarthy
- Used
- near fine
- Hardcover
- first
Stated first edition; a near fine book in a very good dust jacket. An outstanding copy of this disturbing 3rd novel by perhaps the greatest living American writer. This copy is clean, bright, and tight (apparently unread). The near fine book has a crisp, tight binding with white pages; mild rubbing to the spine ends and some sunning to the board edges, else fine. Housed in a very good plus jacket that would grade fine save for one small closed tear (approximately 3/4") to the top edge of the front cover; also present is some trivial shelf wear to the edges and corners, and some minor foxing to both flaps and the back cover. Not price clipped, not remaindered, not ex-library. Overall, a beautiful copy of one of McCarthy's early novels; protected in a mylar cover.

Description:
New York: Random House, 1973. First edition (stated). Near fine in near fine jacket.. First printing of McCarthy's third novel, a work of great vigor and depravity praised by the optimistic but anonymous jacket copywriter as "perhaps the most accessible of McCarthy's novels." Perhaps. CHILD OF GOD considers the limits of human degradation, a topic of interest to the author in his pathbreaking youth just as it would be in his illustrious and acclaimed old age. The novel was the occasion of a literary achievement against which all the hollow machinery of latter-day Hollywood could avail nothing; its ill-conceived 2013 film adaptation at the hands of a much-overmatched James Franco soon fell from the world and left no marks in its passing. Presented with a card signed by McCarthy's legendary Random House editor, Albert Erskine, a gentleman of the old school who left no recorded objections to the novel's necrophilia and merely requested from his author some elaboration of the details (Luce). 8'' x…

Description:
New York: Random House, 1959. Book. Illus. by Sam March (dust jacket design). Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition.. Small octavo. Humes's second novel, following 'The Underground City,' both of which led to his being considered by Esquire magazine as having the same promise as two obscure guys named Updike and Styron (whoever they are). Anyway, he met a guy named Leary who introduced him to a little substance known as LSD, and after seriously indulging his fondness for the hallucinogen he became a trifle paranoid and a bit delusional, which pretty much ended his writing career. Humes was co-founder (with Peter Matthiessen and George Plimpton) of The Paris Review. He died of prostate cancer in 1992. Black cloth w/gilt lettering, 184 pages. Mildly cocked, light general wear, in price-clipped dust jacket w/light rubbing, light edgewear, creases to fore-edges of both flaps..
