Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. No Jacket. Special Edition. Advance Reading Copies in paperback of Uncorrected Proofs, unread, in Near Fine condition. "TREE OF SMOKE is the story of William 'Skip' Sands--a spy-in-training engaged in Psychological Operations against the Viet Cong--and the disasters that befall him. This is also t…he story of his uncle, a CIA veteran known as the Colonel, and of the Houston brothers, Bill and James, young men who drift out of the Arizona desert and into a war where the line between disinformation and delusion has vanished. In its vision of human folly, and with its gritty, sympathetic portraits of men and women desperate for an end to their loneliness, whether in sex or death or by the grace of God, this is a story like nothing in our literature." [publisher copy] It was the Winner of the 2007 National Book Award for Fiction. "Like the project of the title--an intelligence report that the newly minted CIA operative William 'Skip' Sands comes to find both quixotic and useless--the Vietnam-era warfare of Johnson's rueful, soulful novel lives in shadows, diversions and half-truths. There are no heroes here among the lawless colonels, assassinated priests and faith-stricken NGO nurses; only villainy and vast indifference."--NYT 100 Best Books. "THE LAUGHING MONSTERS, Johnson's tenth novel, is a stunner: the story of Roland Nair, a rogue intelligence agent looking to make a big score in Sierra Leone amid the detritus and chaos of the post-war-on-terrorism world. Johnson's sentences are always brilliant, but it is in the interstices, the gray areas of the story, that he really excels."--David Ulin, L.A. Times. "And for his next trick, Johnson delivers a taut, Conrad-by-way-of-Chandler tale about a spy who gets too close to the man he's shadowing in Africa. As in any good double-agent story, Johnson obscures whose side Roland is really on, and Roland himself hardly knows the answer either. Johnson expertly maintains the heart-of-darkness mood--his antihero's story is an intriguing metaphor for [post-9/11 lawlessness]."--Kirkus. Bright, clean & tight paperbacks, unread, in Near Fine condition, w/sharp corners & crisp edges (TREE has slight beump on bottom edge & a Promotional Sampler CD bound in back cover), square & tight bindings w/no creases in spines & no jackets as issued.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. FSG, New York, 2007. First edition. First printing. Hardbound. A pristine unread copy, purchased new and never opened, very fine/very fine in all respects. This book quickly went through multiple printings. This is the first printing, with number line…down to the 1. Comes with archival-quality dust jacket cover. Shipped in well padded box. You cannot find a better copy. A novel that spans from 1963 to 1970, with a coda set in 1983. One of the novel's protagonists is Bill Houston, who was the main character in Johnson's 1983 debut novel Angels. Tree of Smoke won the National Book Award for Fiction and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction. Norman Rush, in The New York Review of Books, said: "Tree of Smoke is an ambitious, long, dense, daunting novel sited at the heart of a great American evil, the Vietnam War. Like the war itself, Tree of Smoke delivers an intense experience of loss, shame, futility, confusion all without benefit of editorializing.".

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. First edition, 2007, 1st printing. 614pp. 2007 National Book Award for Fiction. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in pristine AS NEW condition. "This is the story of William 'Skip' Sands, CIA--engaged in Psychological Operations against the Vietcong-…-and the disasters that befall him. This is also the story of the Houston brothers, Bill and James, young men who drift out of the Arizona desert and into a war where the line between disinformation and delusion has blurred away. In its vision of human folly, this is a story like nothing in our literature." [jacket flap copy] "Like the project of the title--an intelligence report that the newly minted CIA operative William 'Skip' Sands comes to find both quixotic and useless--the Vietnam-era warfare of Johnson's rueful, soulful novel lives in shadows, diversions and half-truths. There are no heroes here among the lawless colonels, assassinated priests and faith-stricken NGO nurses; only villainy and vast indifference."--NYT 100 Best Books. "The God I want to believe in has a voice and a sense of humor like Denis Johnson's."--Jonathan Franzen. "Pretty much impossible to stop reading . . . Johnson is a wonderful writer."--David Gates. "'Massive,' 'epic,' and 'wildly ambitious' are the most common adjectives applied to Idaho poet and novelist Denis Johnson's latest work. While the cranky Los Angeles Times asks, 'Why write about Vietnam at this point in history? Is there anything else that needs to be said?' the majority of critics love how TREE OF SMOKE brings fresh life to the tired setting by uniting it with unconventional plot and character choices. As the Minneapolis Star Tribune summed up, 'Sound like you've read it before? Trust me, you haven't.' Johnson brings his well-known penchant for eccentric characters and his spot-on ear for dialogue (both best displayed in 1992's Jesus' Son) to his riskiest--and, many say, his most rewarding--work to date."--Bookmarks. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright-as-new jacket covered in archival mylar. Quite presentable.
