Rushdie, Salman : Fury: A Novel

Random House, New York City, NY, 2001

ISBN 067946333X

First Edition / First Printing. Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. 259 pages. The author's eighth novel. One of Salman Rushdie's finest achievements. 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 Salman Rushdie's "Fury". His so-called "American" novel, set mostly in Manhattan, where he is now based. With numerous allusions to living celebrities, places, and events, it is perhaps his most autobiographical work. The novel was widely praised by both critics and readers for his now-legendary literary virtuosity. This is ultimately a novel about the fragility of the human condition. If Rushdie has one theme overriding his keen interest in the encounter between East and West, it would be this profound sense of our vulnerability. This title has become one of Rushdie's most popular successes. It is unquestionably, one of his most accessible books, in stark contrast to the challenges, both rewarding and frustrating, of "The Satanic Verses", the novel that made him an international cause celebre. An absolute "must-have" title for Salman Rushdie collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Salman Rushdie. 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, 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. Winner of the Booker Prize in 1981 for "Midnight's Children", which was also selected as "The Booker of Bookers" in 1993, the best of all previous winners. One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER SALMAN RUSHDIE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 067946333X.
