Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. From the New York Times Bestselling author ofLovecraft Country, now an HBO series. It is a literary event when a genuinely new fictional voice comes along. When that voice achieves its newness not through a certain formal facility but through the freshness of its vision, there is truly something to celebrate. Matt Ruff was only twenty-two when Fool on the Hill was first published, but with his novel he gave us a story that won over readers of every persuasion. Not your usual first effort, Fool on the Hill is a full-blown epic of life and death, good and evil, magic and love. Think of the imaginative daring of Mark Helprins Winters Tale. The zany popism of Tom Robbinss Another Roadside Attraction. The gnomish fantasies of J.R. Tolkien. Think of these and you begin to get some idea of one of the most remarkable first novels to come along in years. In the world of Fool on the Hill dogs and cats can talk, a subculture of sprites lives in the shadows and underfoot (if youre the sensitive type, or drunk enough, you might see them cavorting across the lawn), and the Bohemians, a group of Harley- and horseback-riding students dedicated to all things unconventional, hold all-night revels for the glory of their cause. Then there is Stephen Titus George, the novels youthful hero, who somehow finds himself the main player in a story that began well over a century ago. George is a mild-mannered flier of kites, a sometimes writer of bestselling fiction, and would-be knight looking for a maiden. George will find his girl and the century-old story will provide the proverbial dragon whose slaying will sanctify their love. But it will not be a sword that fells the foe but the transforming power of the imagination. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Soft cover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. Grove Press 1988 paperback reprint, later printing. 396pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "FOOL ON THE HILL is a magical storytelling tour de force that since its original publication has become an underground classic. It is the story of S.T. George, a young writer-in-residence at Cornell University, who is looking for love and dragons to slay. Momentous forces and a cast of extraordinary characters gather around him--including dogs and cats who speak, Shakespearean sprites who dress in Armani, and two mysterious women. Soon George is caught up in an epic struggle of life and death, good and evil, magic and love. Fantastic as the epic quests of J. R. R. Tolkien and contemporary as the zany entertainment of Tom Robbins, FOOL ON THE HILL is certain to be reread, laughed over, and remembered for a very long time." [publisher copy] "Matt Ruff's novel is a comic fantasy of wonderful energy, invention, and generosity of spirit; it marks the start of what should be a remarkable career."--Alison Lurie. "The fantasy field is full of readers falling in love with writers. . . Talent is not a prerequisite to reader-writer bonding, but I like talent. Matt Ruff. . . is loaded."--The Philadelphia Inquirer. "Unlike his peers, young author Matt Ruff lets fantasy speak through his pen and for his generation."--Spin. "Matt Ruff knows his stuff--and proceeds to use it. . . The plot comes together like a brilliant clockwork toy. . . Ruff should leave even his cynical elders disarmed in the end."--Locus. Fantastic first novel w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Pristine & quite presentable in its sky-blue & grass-green illustrated cover by Clifford Alejandro.…
