About This Item
New York: St. Martins, 2015. SIGNED. 1st/1st. New. Stated First Edition, first printing with complete number line ending in 1. Signed by Jong on the title page. The book is unread, tight and square with sharp corners and clean unmarred boards. Textblock is clean with no writing, bookplate, or marks and not BCE, ex-library, or remaindered. Dust jacket is unclipped and pristine. Opened only for signature and photos. Protected in a Brodart Mylar cover. 273 pages. 5¾ x 8½" tall.
As the poet William Butler Yeats wrote, "the only two things worth writing about are sex and death," and in Fear of Dying, Jong takes on both. Along the way, she also tells the story of a marriage that grows happier despite all. This wise book, written in prose gorgeous enough to make one swoon, will delight and enrich the lives of everyone who reads it. Fear of Dying is a big, bawdy, beautifully-written romp through online hookups, female friendships, children grappling with adulthood and parents negotiating with death. Fear of Dying is big, warm-hearted, generous book that will satisfy Jong's longtime fans and delight her new readers.
