Sobre este item
Alfred A. Knopf, 2005. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Association copy, inscribed to a close friend or family member, quite possibly her brother-in-law the journalist Dominick ("Nick") Dunne: "For Nick, who was there through all of these scenes -- from San Juan Bautista to St. John the Divine -- with love always, Joan Didion." Mission San Juan Bautista was where Joan and her husband John Gregory Dunne were married; St. John the Divine was the site of their daughter Quintana Roo Dunne's wedding, the funeral for John Gregory Dunne (as described in this book), and ultimately Joan's own memorial. Laid in is a hand-written note on her personal stationary, bookmark size, 6.5 inches by 3.25: "Dear Nick -- I managed to find you a first edition, so it's almost like getting it in October -- Love, xx, J." The book was published in October 2005, and this is a first printing. Gregory Dunne and his brother Dominick (if it's that Nick, which seems likely considering this individual attended their wedding) were for many years estranged but reconciled. Dominick was an influential journalist and screenwriter in his own right. All and all, just about the best copy of this book one could hope for. Winner of the National Book Award and adapted by Didion into a broadway play starring Vanessa Redgrave. Near fine book with very light dust soiling and a few spots to top face of text block; in a near fine jacket with some light sunning to spine that s only really noticeable on rear panel and the impression of a paper clip at the top of the front panel (probably from a clip holding the note at one point). Comes with a paperback reading copy. We have a distinct interest in contemporary essay and invite you to explore our other Joan Didion offerings, including books from her own library.

Sobre Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
