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 Susanna Moore's "The Big Girls". One of her most beautifully written novels. "In spare yet hypnotic prose, Susanna Moore examines the bond between a young psychiatrist and a mentally ill patient in her devastating novel, set at an upstate New York federal women's prison. Sloatsburg Correctional Institution is dangerous, under-staffed, under-financed, and overwhelmingly grim. The place epitomizes what is wrong with our nation's prison system and stands as a warning about our growing mental health crisis. Moore deftly shifts perspective among her principal characters as the action hurtles to an oddly satisfying resolution. Reading this heart-breaker is like watching a train wreck while dialing for help on your cellphone. You can't turn away" (Publishers Weekly). An absolute "must-have" title for Susanna Moore collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in blue ink-pen on the title page by Susanna Moore. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is now collectible. 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 Pen/Ernest Hemingway Citation and The Sue Kaufman Prize from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. One of the finest American writers of our time. A fine copy.
