About This Item
New York, NY Simon & Schuster: Fireside, 1990. Paperback First Edition Thus [1990]; First Printing indicated by a complete numerical sequence. First Edition Thus [1990]; First Printing indicated by a complete numerical sequence. Very Good+ in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: just a hint of wear to the extremities; mild rubbing to the panels; a square of pen scratchings at upper inside corner of front wrapper cover obliterating former owners name or such. The binding square and secure; the text is clean. Not without flaw, but remains close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8.5 x 5.5 x 0.75 inches). 272 pages. Weight: 11.6 ounces. Trade Paperback. Leon Solomon is about to commit suicide, but not before the reader truly knows why. In the course of his explanation we see Solomon as historian, holocaust survivor, thief (he has been caught stealing documents from the Judaica collection of the New York Public Library), lover, hero and, finally, unforgettable narrator of his own death. He relates an incestuous love for his sister in war-ravaged Poland, his internment in Auschwitz, his estrangement from his German Jewish wife and his American-born son, and his hilarious amorous adventures. In the end Solomon emerges as a comic figure with a desperate need to record and to steal the history of his people. A memorable first novel.
