About This Item
Washington, D.C., U.S.A.: Counterpoint, 2002. First U.S. Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. STANLEY PARK, Timothy Taylor's first novel, was a Canadian bestseller, and a finalist for both the Giller Prize and the Rogers Writers' Trust Prize. At once a mystery, a romance, and a scaldingly funny satire of the "fooderati", Taylor weaves together the brightly colored strands of his story with unerring skill and prodigal invention. It's a comic novel of the first order, and the welcome arrival of a strong, very entertaining new voice in fiction. As new, unread copy, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. L56
