Maksik, Alexander : A Marker To Measure Drift

Alfred A. Knopf, New York City, NY, 2013

ISBN 0307962571

First Edition / First Printing. As New in As New Dust Jacket. 230 pages. The author's breakthrough second novel. One of the most important literary events of our time. 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. Presents Alexander Maksik's "A Marker To Measure Drift". His mesmerizing second novel. "A hypnotic, spellbinding novel set in Greece and Africa, where a young Liberian woman reckons with a haunted past. Visceral and gripping, extraordinary in its depiction of physical and spiritual hungers. A novel about ruin and faith, barbarism and love, and the devastating memories that contain the power both to destroy us and to redeem us" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Alexander Maksik and contemporary literature collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed, dated (shortly after publication), and placed in black ink-pen on the title page by the author: "9/22/13 Alexander Maksik NYC". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Laid-in are pristine copies of the Souvenir Program and Bookmark of the Brooklyn Book Festival 2013, during which event his signature was obtained. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed and post-publication dated copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. 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 most brilliant new voices in American literature. A fine copy. . ISBN 0307962571.
