Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. First edition, 1st printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "Winner of the Paris Review Discovery Prize for best first fiction and anthologized in The Best American Short Stories 2002, Karl Iagnemma has been recognized as a writer of rare talent. His literary terrain is the world of science, with its charged boundary between the rational mind and the restless heart. [] In Iagnemma's stories, mathematicians and theoreticians, foresters and doctors, yearn to create bonds as steadfast as the equations and principles that anchor their lives. A frustrated academic tries to diagram his troubled relationship with his girlfriend but fails to create a formula for romance. A nineteenth-century phrenologist must reexamine the connection between knowledge and passion when a young con-woman beats him at his own game. A jaded professor dreams endlessly of his two obsessions: a beautiful former colleague and the theorem that made her famous. [] Inventive, wise, funny, and disquieting, Karl Iagnemma s first collection attests to his spirited imagination and his prodigious literary gifts." [jacket copy] "Iagnemma, a research scientist at MIT, is a rising star among short story writers, having won both a Pushcart Prize and a coveted spot in last year's Best American Short Stories. His debut collection explores the places where faith, love, and science all intersect. In 'Zilkowski's Theorem,' a mathematician deliberates revealing a secret that could boost his career at the expense of the reputation of the woman he loves. In the moving story 'The Ore Miner's Wife,' a naive Christian bride, fearing a moral lapse on the part of her husband, destroys papers that contain his potentially important geometrical theories. And in 'Kingdom, Order, Species,' a female forester resorts to breaking and entering in order to meet the reclusive author of an introductory textbook on botany; she hopes the encounter may offer answers to why her love life and career never seem to blossom. These intelligent, quirky, and suspenseful stories offer proof of Iagnemma's stunning talent."--Booklist. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright-as-new jacket.…
