Soft cover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. First edition, 292pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "Lynne Tillman's previous novels have won her both popular approval and critical praise from such literary heavyweights as Edmund White and Colm Tóibín. With AMERICAN GENIUS, her first novel since 1998's No Lease on Life, she shows what might happen if Jane Austen were writing in 21st-century America. Employing her trademark crystalline prose and intricate, hypnotic sentences, Tillman fashions a microcosm of American democracy: a scholarly colony functioning like Melville's Pequod. In this otherworld, competing values--rationality and irrationality, generosity and selfishness, love and lust, shame and honor--collide through a witty narrative, cycling through such disparate tropes as skin disease, chair design, and Manifest Destiny. All this is folded into the narrator's memories and emotional life, culminating in a séance that may offer escape and transcendence--or perhaps nothing. Grand and minute, elegiac and hilarious, Lynne Tillman expands the possibilities of the American novel in this dazzling read." [publisher copy] "AMERICAN GENIUS is a masterpiece. The intricate sentences, which include alternative or opposite possibilities raised by every topic and event, provide bewitching experiences of the ambiguities of experience, always as clear as crystal, even as they shatter the crystal into luminous shards. The book is also preposterously humane, since even the most unencouraging characters finally settle into their places in Tillman's microcosm and become objects of something like nostalgia, the way unsympathetic people known years ago become warming icons of lost times. The central character is herself a wonder of indeterminate openness even as she keeps shutting things down, a paradigm of human warmth and doubt. As I read the book, I waited for things to happen that never did and was delighted with their not happening, with being obliged to stick to the 'eternal' round of predetermined but never predictable days; and often the most serious impudences in the story made me laugh out loud. AMERICAN GENIUS is utterly original, utterly enthralling."--Harry Mathews [front flap copy] "Lynne Tillman's AMERICAN GENIUS is a kind of Tristram Shandy for our time, if Tristram were American, and institutionalized. The narrative voice is manic, neurotic, self-generative, very smart, loopy, deeply vulnerable, closely (obsessively) observant, narcissistic, and eminently contemporary. It is also very funny. This voice dodges, it annotates, it refuses to tell, it digresses. And out of this voice, as in an elaborate time-lapse photograph, a world is made, a world like ours: flawed, beautiful, sacred, insane."--George Saunders. "Magnificently, Lynne Tillman makes skin do what Herman Melville made boats do--contain multitudes. AMERICAN GENIUS, though less macho, belongs in the same class as Moby-Dick and Gravity's Rainbow: encyclopedic novels about America and the world. Grand and minute, elegiac and hilarious, this book will also contradict anything anyone can say about it."--Matthew Sharpe. Pristine paperback w/French flaps, brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine, printed on pulpy (alk. paper) pages bright-as-new, presented quite beautifully by Soft Skull Press.
