Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. It's 1980 in New York, and Hartley Mims Jr., a somewhat overbred Southerner, arrives in town to find his artistic career and a circle of brillant friends. He soon discovers both Robert Christian Gustafson, archangels boy composer of Symphony no. 1: The Titanic, and Alabama Byrnes, a failed Savannah debutante whose gigantic paintings reveal an outsized talent that she, five feet tall, can't always live up to. This circle--sexually venturesome, frequently hungry, hooked on courage, caffeine, and the promise of immortality--makes history and most everybody else. Their dramatic moment in New York history might've been a collaboration begun, as a toast, by Cole Porter and finished, as pure elegy, by Poe himself. This book is a fairy tale. It has a Legend's indoctrination charm, and hidden terrors. It chronicles a ragtag group of gifted kids who come to seek their fortunes; they find the low-paying joys of making art and the heady education only multiple erotic partners can provide. Having mythologized each other through the boom years, having commenced becoming "names," they suddenly encounter a brand-new disease like something out of fifth-rate sci-fi. Friends are soon questioning how much they really owe each other;they're left with the ancient consolation of one another's company and help. We watch this egotistical circle forge it's single greatest masterwork; a healthy community. The book jacket shows minimal wear and tear from handling. It is internally clean with no markings or highlighting. It has rough deckled page edges. Codice articolo 637
