Wuori, G. K : An American Outrage: Quillifarkeag, Maine

Algonquin Books, Chapel Hill, NC, 2000

ISBN 1565122925

First Edition / First Printing. Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. 250 pages. The author's debut novel. 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 G. K. Wuori's "An American Outrage". Brilliant. "Over the course of 250 pages, the narrator carefully pieces together the details of what happened one afternoon at St. Antoine du Plupart and, just as importantly, what happened afterwards. Being from Maine, the narrator takes his time. He has other things to do and other stories to tell, but in the end every detail about what is truly an American outrage is told. G. K. Wuori has a wonderful way with language and a heartfelt affection for the place about which he writes" (Otto Penzler). An absolute "must-have" title for G. K. Wuori collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page by G. K. Wuori. 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. One of the finest American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER G. K. WUORI TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 1565122925.
