Diaz, Junot Drown
New York Riverhead 1996 1-57322-041-8 / 9781573220415 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover
Very Good+ in a Near Fine dustjacket. Brown boards quarterbound in burgundy cloth. The spine is stamped in gilt. Black endpapers. Octavo. 208pps. There are a few light smudges in the margins of the text, a thin and unobtrusive soilmark at the fore-edge and two dogearred page corners. Otherwise clean, tight, square, and bright. No previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has a touch of crinkling at the top of the rear panel; the original price (21.95) is intact. A nice copy of the author's highly-regarded first book, a collection of short stories.
"...With ten stories that move from the barrios of the Dominican Republic to the struggling urban communities of New Jersey, Junot Diaz makes his remarkable debut. In 'Ysrael', two brothers hunt a disfigured boy who hides behind a mask; in 'No Face', the mirror is flipped and perspective belongs to the tormented. In 'Fiesta, 1980', a spirited family gathering plays against the noiseless hum of a father's infidelities. In 'Boyfriend', a young man eavesdrops on the woman next door and colors in the life overheard with the drama born of intense longing. And always, it seems there is the throb of waiting: in 'Aguantando', for the fulfillment of a promise; in 'Negocios', for rescue; in 'Aurora', for respite; in 'Drown', for resolution..."
