About This Item
New York: Karma and Glenn Horowitz, Bookseller, 2014. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Limited Edition of this previously unpublished one-act play inspired by global climate change, with seven full-page color plates from photographs by Richard Prince, from his "Upstate" series. One of only 125 copies bound in cloth from an edition of 1000 copies. Royal 8vo (279 x 212mm): [6],26,[2]pp. Publisher's grey cloth boards, color image affixed to front cover, orange end papers, top edge stained orange, original unprinted acetate dust jacket. Signed by both Delillo and Prince on front free end paper. An excellent example, tightly bound and clean throughout, virtually pristine. This one-act was commissioned by the Chicago Humanities Festival and premiered on October 27, 2007, in a production by the Steppenwolf Theatre Company. Prince's photos chronicle a landscape of economic decline: aboveground swimming pools and abandoned-looking basketball hoops perched on the edges of overgrown fields. N. B. With few exceptions (always identified), we only stock books in exceptional condition, carefully preserved in archival, removable mylar sleeves. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed. (Fine Editions Ltd is a member of the Independent Online Booksellers Association, and we subscribe to its codes of ethics.).
