First Edition / First Printing. Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. 128 pages. The author's breakthrough debut novel. One of the most important literary debuts of our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly copies that are signed on a tipped-in page. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out shortly after publication. The First Edition is now scarce. The DJ design by Archie Ferguson lyrically evokes the story of three brothers "who grow up amid neglect, poverty, violence, and occasional moments of pure, radiant love". Presents Justin Torres' "We The Animals". His acclaimed debut novel. "Brimming with delicate stories of family, of growing up, of facing reality, and of delaying it. Comprised of vignettes detailing moments spent in the eye of the ferocious bubble of home. Torres' prose is fierce, grabbing hold of the reader and allowing him inside the wrenching whirlwind of a life lived intensely" (Alexandra Foster). "A dark jewel of a book. It's heartbreaking. It's beautiful. It resembles no other book I've read. A brilliant, ferocious new voice" (Michael Cunningham). An absolute "must-have" title for Justin Torres collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed and inscribed in black ink-pen on the title page by the author: "Mark, Lovely to meet a fellow bookseller. Thanks for the great questions! Justin Torres". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on the publisher's tipped-in page, as copies available online are. It is unusual to find a writer who would happily refer to himself as a bookseller, which every writer is. This title is a contemporary classic. This is the only such signed and inscribed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing 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 rare signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER COPY OF THIS TITLE IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0547576722.
