Sobre este item
Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Company,, 1963. The book sails with majesty through caverns measureless to man First edition, first printing, of the author's debut novel, in the first issue dust jacket without reviews on the rear panel. V was awarded the William Faulkner Foundation Award for best debut novel; Pynchon was heralded as a "young writer of staggering promise" (Plimpton). "In this sort of book", wrote Time Magazine, "there is no total to arrive at. Nothing makes any waking sense. But it makes a powerful, deeply disturbing dream sense. Nothing in the book seems to have been thrown in arbitrarily, merely to confuse, as is the case when inept authors work at illusion. Pynchon appears to be indulging in the fine, pre-Freudian luxury of dreams dreamt for the dreaming. The book sails with majesty through caverns measureless to man". Octavo. Original light purple cloth, spine lettered in silver, 'V' design on front cover in blind, dark yellow endpapers, top edge black, fore edge untrimmed. With dust jacket designed by Ismar David. Housed in a custom brown morocco-backed brown cloth box. Head of spine and one corner just bumped, edges faintly sunned, binding a little shaken, clean and fresh; spine panel sunned, a little rubbed with a few tiny chips and nicks, short closed tear at head of rear panel, unclipped, bright and striking. A near-fine copy in like jacket. George Plimpton, "Review: V", The New York Times, 21 April 1963; "Books: A Myth of Alligators", Time Magazine, 15 March 1963.
