When she opens it up, she discovers that this old guy who she's never considered to be quite human is writing mock diary entries pretending to be her - and weirdly, he's getting it right. She learns he has a tragedy in his past, and suddenly he no longer seems like a paper-stocking robot in a red shirt and a name tag. ***These two retail workers then strike up an unlikely yet touching secret correspondence. As their lives unfold, so too do the characters of Roger's work-in-progress, the oddly titled Glove Pond, a Cheever-era novella gone horribly, horribly wrong. **On every page of this wise, witty and unforgettable novel, Coupland reminds us that love, death and eternal friendship can all occur where and when we least expect them and that, even after tragedy has hit, one can still find solace in the comedy and strange comforts of modern life.' (Quote from inside front of dustwrapper blurb). ***First impression of the signed limited edition of The Gum Thief, signed by Douglas Coupland, and first impression of the true first edition of Glove Pond, complete with the outer slipcase in bright fine condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Signed by Author(s).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Gabriel is a historical novel based on the life of a slave, Gabriel, and his two brothers, Martin and Solomon. They were the backbone of the largest and most well-organized slave insurrection ever uncovered in the United States. Yet this rebellion remains almost unknown, limited to footnotes or buried as an afterthought in history. But an insurrection is only an event, a whisper of lives lived before and after. A generational saga, Gabriel is a story of the entangled lives of two families. The narrative unfolds primarily between 1776 to 1800 in and around Richmond, Virginia, a time and a place of major social transformation. More than events, places, and history, Gabriel resurrects lives of struggle and triumph, tolerance and intolerance, acceptance and resistance. Moving beyond the footnotes, the novel explores love, indifference, and the jagged line between fate and choice. Gabriel is about children, mothers, fathers, slaves, those that owned them, and those that owned none, and freed men and women. In these pages, they breathe again.…
