First Edition/First Printing. 295 pages. The author's sixth novel. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Stewart O'Nan's "Everyday People". His sixth, and in many ways, most unusual novel. The book is dedicated to John Edgar Wideman, one of the best African-American writers of our time, and only O'Nan would dare write about the African-American experience from an outsider's perspective. "The protean O'Nan seems determined to touch nearly every facet of human experience in a remarkable variety of times and places. He has created distinctive, almost palpable worlds rich in moral complexities. O'Nan's empathy for his characters conveys their sense of frustration and powerlessness, the restlessness of teenagers and the older generations' stoic dignity" (Publishers Weekly). An absolute "must-have" title for Stewart O'Nan collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in blue pen on the title page by Stewart O'Nan. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the finest American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER STEWART O'NAN TITLE IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0802116817.
