This first edition is limited to 300 signed and numbered copies. Signed on limited edition page Paul Di Filippo (born October 29, 1954) is an American science fiction writer. He is a regular reviewer for print magazines Asimov's Science Fiction, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Science Fiction Eye, The New York Review of Science Fiction, Interzone, and Nova Express, as well as online at Science Fiction Weekly. He is a member of the Turkey City Writer's Workshop. Along with Michael Bishop, Di Filippo has published a series of novels under the pseudonym Philip Lawson. Antonio Urias writes that Di Filippo's writing has a "tradition of the bizarre and the weird". The popularity of Di Filippo's short stories sometimes distracts from the impact of his mindbending, utterly unclassifiable novels: Ciphers, Joe's Liver, Fuzzy Dice, A Mouthful of Tongues, and Spondulix. Paul's offbeat sensibility, soulful characterizations, exquisite-yet-compact prose, and laugh-out-loud dialogue give his work a charmingly unique voice that is both compelling and addictive. He has been a finalist for the Hugo, Nebula, BSFA, Philip K. Dick, Wired Magazine, and World Fantasy awards. Does the antique story of age and cunning triumphing over youth and innocence reach its fore-destined conclusion one more sad time? Can a 75,000 word novel really be satisfactorily distilled into a few paragraphs, as a certain publication maintains? Only the perusal of Joe's Liver will answer these burning questions, as well as many you never would have thought it seemly to ask. You can try to escape from the mundane, or with the help of Paul Di Filippo, you can take a short, meaningful break from it. In the vein of George Saunders or Michael Chabon, Di Filippo uses the tools of science fiction and the surreal to take a deep, richly felt look at humanity. His brand of funny, quirky, thoughtful, fast-moving, heart-warming, brain-bending stories exist across the entire spectrum of the fantastic from hard science fiction to satire to fantasy and on to horror, delivering a riotously entertaining string of modern fables and stories from tomorrow, now and anytime. After you read Paul Di Filippo, you'll no longer see everyday life quite the same. An orphaned boy in the Caribbean, named Readers Digest (after the magazine), but referred to mainly as "Ardy," is deeply inspired by his readings of the stories that appear in his namesake magazine and conceives a notion of making a pilgrimage to the Digest HQ in Pleasantville, New York and embarks on an odyssey to what he envisions as the most important symbolic beacon of the wonderfulness that is America. A simple trip turns complicated and Ardy meets an endless stream of very odd and unusual characters as his journey progresses to an unexpected finish. This has been reprinted subsequent to its initial limited first edition. First Edition, limited to 300 signed & numbered copies This is copy 25.
