Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 2015 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. Bright, clean & tight copy, unmarked & appears unread, in Fine condition. "Zou Lei, orphan of the desert, migrates to work in America and finds herself slaving in New York's kitchens. She falls in love with a young man whose heart has been broken in another desert. A new life may be possible if together they can survive homelessness, lockup, and the young man's nightmares, which may be more prophecy than madness." [publisher copy] "Perhaps the finest and most unsentimental love story of the new decade."--The New York Times. "A sledgehammer to the American dream."--Kirkus Reviews. "So much of American fiction has become playful, cynical and evasive. PREPARATION FOR THE NEXT LIFE is the strong antidote to such inconsequentialities. Powerfully realistic, with a solemn, muscular lyricism, this is a very, very good book."--Joy Williams. "Atticus Lish is a true original and this is a tremendous book, relentless, moving, written in prose of marvelous integrity. Now that America and the novel are dead, I hope we can have more great American novels as alive as this one."--Sam Lipsyte. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.…

Soft cover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. Tyrant, New York, 2014. First Edition. First printing, second state. Softbound, trade paperback original. This is the first edition of the trade paperback edition with the second state binding. The New York Times blurb is on the front cover. There were apparently 3,500 copies of the cover issued before the addition of the TIMES blurb. This copy is the second state, after those 3,500 copies were printed. There is no indication of a later printing on the copyright. (Later printings were indicated as such). I imagine that only the covers (wrappers) were revised, after the publication of the rave N.Y. TIMES review, to include that blurb, and that the text went unchanged, but this is only my assumption. Winner of the 2015 PEN FAULKNER AWARD for fiction. The author's debut, a novel. This is a very delicate book, which is easily harmed after a single reading. Difficult to find a fine copy. This copy is unread, without any faults.…
