First Edition / First Printing. As New in As New Dust Jacket. 285 pages. The author's second novel. One of the most important literary events of our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Leif Enger's "So Brave, Young, And Handsome". His much-anticipated second novel, breaking the "Harper Lee Curse" that his readers feared had engulfed him after the success of his debut, "Peace Like A River" (2001). The novel reads like a fable or parable, simply and eloquently told, with characters to cheer for and despise, much like in real life: The "bad guys" are really the Good Guys, and the "good guys" are Very Bad indeed. A convict who has been in hiding for twenty years, the protagonist finally begins a journey to reconcile with a long lost love, accompanied by an author who is suffering from severe writer's block. They are pursued relentlessly by a pathological Pinkerton agent. An absolute "must-have" title for Leif Enger collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed and dated (in the month and year of publication) in black pen on the title page by the author: "Leif Enger 5/7/08". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is now collectible. This is one of few such signed and publication-month dated copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER LEIF ENGER TITLE IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0871139855.
