Book First Edition Signed
Soft cover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 178 pages. Published in 2019. The author's book-length account on politics, presented as a Dictionary of Key Words. One of the most valuable literary and cultural events of our time. The First Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a softcover original and an FSG Originals title only. Presents John Freeman's "Dictionary of The Undoing". From one of the most intelligent and eloquent literary voices of our time, the Key Words, in alphabetical order, of the present moment of severe American and global political crisis: "From A to Z, from Agitate to Zygote". "Assembles the words that feel most essential, most potent, to build a case for their renewed power and authority, each word building on the last. The message is not to retreat behind books, but to emphatically engage in the public sphere, to redefine what it means to be a literary citizen. A necessary, resounding cri de coeur in defense of language, meaning, and our ability to imagine, describe, and build a better world" (Publisher's blurb). "How to be good in bad times? How to speak truth? Why read? Why write? Why bother? It is a symptom of our ongoing catastrophe that such questions must be asked, but we're lucky that John Freeman is out there looking for some answers. Language is Freeman's primary concern. He sets out to reclaim it and restore what was damaged by the onslaught of evil and idiocy" (Aleksandar Hemon). With an Afterword by the brilliant young novelist Valeria Luiselli, this is the best title in the FSG Originals series since Wayne Koestenbaum's "My 1980s And Other Essays" (2013). An absolute "must-have" title for John Freeman collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in blue ink-pen on the title page by John Freeman. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Laid-in is a pristine copy of the Souvenir Announcement of the book launch during which event his signature was obtained. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: John Freeman did NOT tour to promote the book. Published as a softcover original only. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant new voices of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 0374538859. Signed by Author.

It doesn't go on the shelf alongside other critics; it goes on the shelf alongside Dickens' Howard Jacobson___________________Discover the tricks of a literary master in this essential guide to the fictional world of Charles Dickens.From Pickwick to Scrooge, Copperfield to Twist, how did Dickens find the perfect names for his characters What was Dickens's favourite way of killing his characters When is a Dickens character most likely to see a ghost Why is Dickens's trickery only fully realised when his novels are read aloud In thirteen entertaining and wonderfully insightful essays, John Mullan explores the literary machinations of Dickens's eccentric genius, from his delight in clichés to his rendering of smells and his outrageous use of coincidences. A treat for all lovers of Dickens, this essential companion puts his audacity, originality and brilliance on full display.'Brilliantly sharp .

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. John Freeman's first poetry collection charts the impact of place on human experience. In Beirut, Rio de Janeiro, Paris, Rome, and the foothills of a childhood hometown, Freeman navigates legacies of ruin and construction, illness and memory. Warm, mournful, and distinctly urban, Maps offers a compassionate perspective from the experience of one American embroiled in empire.From "You Are Here:"The city grindsits molars at night, carefully minedexplosions boring cavities beneathManhattan, while other linesride all hours in yellow light, glidingto stops at the zebra-painted beamhalfway down each platform,conductor always pointing up, as ifto say, yes, you are here."At the intersection of art and heart, this magnificent sheaf of voyages leads us through the di fficult and picturesque atlas of a life. This is an enduring and rapturous account of a lifes journey to plumb the depths of the known in order to reveal the hidden and unknown." D.A. Powell"What is mapped here, in John Freemans exquisite and robust poetry debut, are the territories of loss, pain, violence, and reckoning that make up a life. And also those of love, remembrance, and unabashed passion that make that same life livable. Maps is a consolation and a delight." Tracy K. Smith"John Freemans astonishing book of poems shows us first an America that could once and sometimes still be experienced in a vacuum, removed from the brutal struggles that are the daily life of much of the world. Then he takes us into that world, where human tenderness is martyred and buried, day after day. In Freemans hands the most minimal scenes, the smallest gestures, record our persistence and fragility. Disconsolate, loving, burdened by memory, undeceived but somehow still doggedly hopeful, these poems help us to see a world were just beginning to map." Mark DotyJohn Freeman is an American writer and literary critic. A graduate of Swarthmore College, Freeman is the editor of Freemans, a literary biannual, and author of two books of nonfiction, The Tyranny of E-mail and How to Read a Novelist. He has also edited two anthologies of writing on inequality, Tales of Two Cities and Tales of Two Americas. The former editor of Granta, he lives in New York, where he teaches at The New School and is writer-in-residence at New York University. The executive editor at LitHub, he has published poems in Zyzzyva, The New Yorker, The Paris Review, and The Nation. His work has been translated into more than twenty languages. Freeman's poetry debut maps the present by way of the past, drawing inspiration from childhood memories, family, and former loves.
