Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. No Jacket. Special Edition. Advance Reading Copy in paperback of uncorrected "Proof Made from the Author's Manuscript." Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. "Dear Friend, Rick Moody has written a hilarious and brilliant page-turner of a novel about a crew of movie-biz strivers trying to get a new miniseries off the ground. It's the buzz-powered project of the moment, an epic stretching from the Mongolian steppes to the Las Vegas desert, and everyone in the business--everyone in America, it almost seems--is hustling to get a piece of it. The only problem is that the screenplay everyone is fighting over doesn't actually exist. This is a rich and generous novel--about the dizzying fullness of our lives, the emptiness of ambition, and the joy of the chase--by a writer with a voice as distinct and powerful as any today. I hope you'll love it as all of us at Little, Brown do. Let me hear! Yours, Michael Pietsch" Senior V.P. & Publisher's bound-in note. "The 'almost freakishly gifted stylist' Rick Moody concocts his latest as if it were The Bonfire of the Vanities as written by James Joyce (or so says The Washington Post). Most critics (at least those on the coasts) agree that the author's writerly gifts give new life to the age-old practice of Hollywood satire. As always, he does go way over the top (for example, the overlong prologue waxes poetic about the sun rising across the globe, and don't we already know that the god of pop culture is a false god?), but most reviewers could forgive the lapses. More important, Moody seems to be having fun. And there's something divine in that alone."--Bookmarks. Pristine paperback ARC w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. New York: Little Brown [2005]. First edition. First printing. Hardbound. A pristine unread copy, very fine/very fine in all respects. SIGNED BY AUTHOR on title page (his name only). Comes with mylar dust jacket protector. Moody tells a sprawling and rambunctious story about the wide range of people responsible for producing a grandiose (fictional) television mini-series. Set during the election year of 2000, the novel is a brilliant take on contemporary culture by one of our most insightful novelists. Signed by Author(s).

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 'In his first novel in seven years, Rick Moody gives us a look at contemporary America, from coast to coast. In the month after Election Day 2000, scores of movie-business strivers are focused on one goal: getting in on an elusive production that seems sure to be the Next Best Thing. It is an epic about dowsers, those miracle workers who bring water to perpetually thirsty (and hungry and love-starved) humankind. The movie - or TV miniseries, as it eventually becomes - opens with Huns sweeping through Mongolia and closes with a Mormon diviner finding water in the Las Vegas desert. A rumor-driven industry is sure that it will be the please-everyone, multigenerational, multiethnic hit of all their dreams.' 'Among the wannabes in pursuit of this ephemeral project: Vanessa Meandro, hot-tempered head of Means of Production, a hip New York indie film company; her harried and varied staff, including a Sikh cabdriver promoted to the office of 'theory and practice of TV' and the daughter of an LA media big shot, who is hired to fetch Vanessa's Krispy Kremes and more; a bipolar bicycle messenger who makes a fateful misdelivery; two celebrity publicists, the Vanderbilt girls; a thriller writer who gives Botox parties; a word man who coined the phrase 'inspired by a true story'; and a Supreme Court justice who wants to write the script. A few real artists surface in the course of Moody's tale, and real emotion will eventually blossom for most of Vanessa's staff at Means of Production - even for Vanessa herself.' 'The Diviners is a look at the interlocking worlds of entertainment, money, politics, addiction, sex, work, and family in modern America. Rick Moody delivers a cautionary tale about vanity, ambition, and life's unlikely paths.'--BOOK JACKET.
