Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. An explorer's whereabouts keeps a queen in waiting; a faith healer's illegal radio broadcasts give hope to an oppressed people; a president's offer of ice cream surprises a prostitute expecting to cooperate fully - the three short fictions gathered in The Great Exception build into a vision of Cuba that is black-humored, brutal, and beautiful. Written prior to the publication of Rachel Kushner's first acclaimed novel Telex From Cuba, these stories, like Roberto Bolano's Antwerp, burst forth with the genesis of her fictional universe as though fired from a cannon. From the mythical title story, to the ominous "Debouchment" - originally published in her too short-lived journal Soft Targets - to the sexy and noirish "Strange Case of Rachel K," this is Kushner saddling up for a journey into the wilds of the modern novel. Three early stories of myth, regime, and harlotry by the acclaimed author of The Flamethrowers. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. First edition, 1st printing. 80pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in NEW condition. "The three pieces gathered in THE STRANGE CASE OF RACHEL K roughly map the genesis of Rachel Kushner's fiction. From the fate of a conquistador in 'The Great Exception,' to the illegal radio broadcasts, and then bombs, in 'Debouchment,' to a Havana courtesan's 'strange' case, these writings build into a vision of Cuba that is black-humored, brutal, and beautiful. Like Roberto Bolano in his early work 'Antwerp,' or Thomas Pynchon in 'Slow Learner,' here is Rachel Kushner forging her own original path into the wilds of contemporary fiction." [jacket copy] "Her prose has a poise and wariness and moral graininess that puts you in the mind of weary-souled visionaries like Robert Stone and Joan Didion."--Dwight Garner. "Kushner is the champion of something strange, wonderful and real."--Rivka Galchen. Pristine & handy hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a cool & intact jacket. Codice articolo RUB2419
