Description:
New York: Simon and Schuster Author's fourth book. The same author that gave us the highly praised "Kramer vs Kramer," which was made into the award winning film; followed by the best-seller " The Old Neighborhood". In this appealing novel, he tells the story of Doug Gardner, witty, sensitive, worldly-wise - and a man who's facing 50 and whose life is falling apart. Where does Doug fit in this world of yuppies, single bars, the fast track and the bottom line? Corman demonstrates once again his unique ability to capture a moment in time and to portray the life of one man with the humanity and insight that make it relevant to our own lives. Mustard-yellow boards with blue cloth spine - gilt title lettering to spine. Matching yellow endpapers - no ownership markings. Remainder mark to bottom edge. This book has the appearance and tight "feel" of a new book. Illustrated dust jacket by Paul Bacon.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine.
