"A powerful log of storytelling, THE HERMIT OF 69TH STREET is Jerzy Kosinski's most innovating novel since his 1969 National Book Award-winning Steps and The Painted Bird and is also his most personal novel to date. Dubbed an 'autofiction' by the author, it is at once suspenseful and funny, savage and tender, sexual and pious. Norbert Kosky, the fifty-five-year-old protagonist of the book is, like the protagonist of Steps, a half-European, half-American Holocaust survivor, who has emerged from his experiences in the war-torn, only slightly mythical country of Ruthenia with most of his verities scorched but spiritually much more luminous. But, while in Steps Kosinski's homo duplex coldly descends the staircase of impersonal hell, Kosky is, in his own words, a spiritual wrestler--a wrestler, he points out, not a literary boxer--who wrestles his rebellious Self the only way he knows how: by wrestling the art of the narrative tradition. As we wrestle it with him, THE HERMIT OF 69TH STREET takes the reader on a wild ride through spiritual landscapes both harrowing and hilarious. It fuses and, says the author, willingly confuses footprints and footnotes, alchemy and religion, sex and cabala. It is Jerzy Kosinski at his new and different narrative best." [jacket copy] "This 'autofiction' by Norbert Korsky, a 55-year-old Holocaust survivor from the Poland-like country of 'Ruthenia,' is presented by Kosinski as the 'working papers' of a deceased writer whose life and times mirror Kosinski's own. Set in New York and Hollywood, the story is hobbled by its form, a relentless homage to Vladimir Nabokov. Almost every page is studded with footnotes and documentation, some consisting of newspaper leads and some culled from imaginary sources. . . This is a clever tour de force, but difficult to define as a novel, not to be compared with The Painted Bird, Steps or Being There for sheer quality of writing. It's a self-conscious demonstration of technique, delivered with a wink and a smirk."--Publishers Weekly. Pristine NF hardcover w/sharp corners & crisp edges (very slight foxing on top edge), a square & tight binding, wrapped in a Fine, intact jacket.
