New Haven & London:: Yale University Press,, 1969.. SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Near fine in near fine dust jacket (name on front endpaper, some very light spots of foxing on the last few pages, but overall a very tight and clean copy) . First printing. His second (and probably most influential) book, an attack on contemporary philosophical and political nihilism. The book begins by reflecting on the consequences of the separation of the conception of reason from the conception of good in modern rationalism, which took the value-neutral science of mathematics as its model. It follows from this separation that reason can say nothing about its own goodness, or that the assertion of goodness is necessarily non-rational.

New York: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1985. Signed on the half-title page by the author. First U.S. edition / First printing. White cloth spine, burnt orange paper-covered boards. Fine in fine dust jacket. In a Paris Review interview (1981) Fuentes talked about a new novella which he was writing in English. That book was Old Gringo. I asked him about it in 1995. He said it was written in English, then translated and rewritten in Spanish (because he felt more comfortable in his native tongue). The English translation was then done in collaboration with Margaret Sayers Penden.
